Photographer's Note

Another picture of Belo Horizonte surroundings, this one in the municipality of Rio Acima. As I said in a previous post, there are many small waterfalls in this region, resulting from the presence of several water springs on the hills.
This one is called "Alto do Mingu", and is located in a range of mountains at an altitude of about 1600 meters above the sea level. The waterfall is approximately 60 meters high.

WS-1 and WS-2: Not very far, another waterfall called "Chica Dona". Branches in the foreground are from the famous Candeia tree (Vanillosmopsis erythropappa). It has a thick bark which protects it from fire. This bark produces an oil used in Cosmetic because of its soothing properties.

I hope you like my souvenirs I'm sharing with you.
