A bit more of Porto Alegre...

... but I'm leaving soon, so we'll change a bit of landscape ! ... Although the sceneries of this city are really great. Even under the rain ! Have a look at La Praça Argentina (pronounce, correct me if I'm wrong, "La prlassa arlgèntchina). And a few other places, sure. 
 
Yeah, this is dull, but this is stylish. ... I think ? Erm.


This is something I tried, and that I failed. But ! In reality, you could see a strange light coming from the dead flowers dying on the floor, which offered a nice contrast with the dark green of the dusking sky. 






 



And at last, the 4 statues place. This is another Praça I forgot the name of, but still : enjoyable under the thin but persistant rain this saterday afternoon.
 




Once again, I tried to fix a light thing. Here is a contrasted picture of the dark trees and the bright wet floor. 


Another contrast : palmtrees and grey dull sky of North France.


Yes. 
You're right. 
You're not here to watch contrasts of rainy things.
It's time for me to leave this town :) See you soon from North, if everything goes right...

So now.... it's time for a nice game !!

I found this "phenix head looking" flowers on my way, and I don't know the name. So, if you are french (or plan to go to france before 2012), you can help me to find the name, and you'll win... A HUGE POT OF DULCE DE LECHE !!!



Some other classical flowers I enjoyed to macro...



And a church ! 
Am I thinking wrong, of this church is definitely... male ?


Don't you think so ?
Sorry... I must be tired.

  2. Thanks !!! Therefore, you confirm the answer a friend of mine gave me on FB. BUT ! As long as a cigar is the thing he'd prefer, the "Dulce de Leche" loot is still available. Well, no, it's not available anymore, because... YOU WON IT !! Congratulations, and thanks for you implication and help :)) Hasta luego, prima !
