Happy 453 years!
I was born and raised in the city of São Paulo. São Paulo (in English, Saint Paul) is the capital of the State of São Paulo in south eastern Brazil. This post is an homage to the Birthday of São Paulo! I chose these photos out of the hundreds my husband took from São Paulo because they are beautiful and also because they bring back some lovely memories for me. When I was young I studied for six years in this School called Instituto de Educação Caetano de Campos, at Praça da República, near those buildings you can see below. I hope you all enjoy these pictures.

The "S" shaped building is one of Niemeyer's buildings named Edifício Copan. About five thousand people living in this building. Oscar Niemeyer (1907-) is the most famous Brazilian architect wich among many other things designed the whole Brasilia town, capital of the country since 1960. These photos were taken by Carlos Mascaro from the top of the Itália Building.
