The beautiful Blumenau:



Many stores of Havan have a big Statue of Liberty in front of them:



Balneário Camboriu, great for parties and shopping, not very good beach:

Thanks for sharing! This is interesting...a very mish mash type of landscape.

I took some pictures while I walked to the shop today so pictures that are, quite literally, of my daily life

The view from my lounge window


My little "suburb"


Facing the other way


The rug washing place just behind the houses and the view of the lake from there



The local school just round the corner from my house



And seeing as those pics are so grey and dismal looking because of the crappy weather today, here's some pics from walks on sunnier days








The local church has been decorated with strings of old jumpers and shirts, no idea why but it looks interesting


And the bliss of summer days by the lake

The architecture is different but many of these are very similar to what everyday life appears like in smaller cities and towns in Canada.

I think the nature in Canada is quite similar isn't it?

I decided to wash a rug in the rug washing place today for the first time, it was quite a pleasant activity really and so much cheaper than sending the rug to get washed professionally (sent a rug earlier this summer and it cost 70 euros!)

In much of Canada it is for sure.

/downtown/centre-ville of my city which has about 275,000 people.

This area was founded by people from New England and so it does not have much of the old French-style architecture found in places like Montreal, Quebec City, Trois-Rivières, etc.

This area is still struggling a bit though it is not dead either. It is still a major centre for offices, etc.

This is also a very outdoorsy area. The city shares its name with Gatineau Park, a 370 km2 wilderness and recreation area where people from Gatineau and neighbouring Ottawa like to go play in all seasons. A section of the park actually bisects two parts of the city. The city centre photos I showed are about 10 km from my house. These areas are fairly close by as well. Maybe a 10-15 minute drive for most of them.
