Photographer’s Note
Morro Branco is located 85 kilometers southeast of Fortaleza, one of the region’s most spectacular and amazing beach. It is a beach of 12 different and natural colored sand. The wind has as well hollow out an area of 200m extension, and caused labyrinths among the small valleys and cliffs. The sand is used among creative craftsmen, to fill in bottles and glasses with colored sand, and create beautiful landscapes and other motifs. It is a very meticulous work, the craftsmen put small amount of sand in different colors (some natural such as red, others artificial such as blue) and create the motifs by using small wood sticks.

If I'm right, I think they use this rock to made colorful sand to put inside little glass bottle for people buy as recordation.

Nice picture. But the city is not Fortaleza, but Beberibe, if you want to put it into the correct city.
