Can't you guess what does title mean? See:this!!
Yes, this photo was taken inside a 10,000,000 inhabitants city, near the LP you've just seen!!

The Cantareira State Park (together with the Tijuca National Park in Rio de Janeiro) is considered one of the largest urban forests in the world and forms part of the São Paulo City Green Belt Biosphere Reserve.
Just 20 minutes from downtown São Paulo ( see satellite image), the park protects the springs and streams that provide fresh water for northern São Paulo. Serra da Cantareira is also home to one of the largest howler monkey colonies in Brazil. At Núcleo Engordador where this photo was taken, you can visit the historical "Casa da Bomba", a pump station built by german engineers in the 19th century and some small waterfalls like this in the picture.

olá Carmen
Às vezes não damos a devida importancia ao nosso entorno ligados somente às loucuras do dia a dia, moro em São Paulo desde que nasci, já ouvi muito falar do Parque da Cantareira, mas NUNCA fui até lá...Acho que isso esplicita o quanto me impressionou sua foto !
parabens não somente pela foto em si, cuja qualidade técnica é irreprimivel, mas tb por abrir um pouco os olhos destes paulistanos somente envolvidos na difusa batalha do dia a dia.
Valeu !
ah; quase esqueci, fantastica sua foto de sampa, e o complemento com o google earth, pude viajar por ele até as minas de Chuquicamata no Chile!.

Ola Carmen
Excellent depiction of how the beauty of nature can be found in such a crowded places.
Very admirable capture indeed ... i am not really happy with the technical aspects of this photo (that I believe must have been lost in the scan)
but I love this photo nevertheless especially after the note that you have written
chau

Hi Carmem. 10 million people is an insane amount of people but even more impressive is that this was taken in the city. They had good foresight to save these types of places. I love the veiled effect on the falls. tfs Carmem.

Hi Carmem
Glad to see your post again. And no new shot except well-scanned iamges from negative.
It's pretty unique to find such beautiful natures in a crowded city like San Paolo.
Well, I believe the local govt have put in effort to preserve the nature for the next generation and succeeded.
Well composed short with slow speed value to produce the misty effect of the water.
Cheers and good day.

É, quem diria que isso aí é São Paulo. O branco da queda d'água e o reflexo na água fizeram com que um rio aparentemente amarronzado ficasse mais bonito, quase que dourado. Ficou bonito também o contraste das águas com o verde escuro das folhas.

A qualidade de sempre!!!!principalmente do fotografo, enquadramento, fotometria...etc. E as fotograficas tambem e claro.
Otimo enquadramento com esse tema natural, com bom balanceamento entre claro e escuro. As cores com tons agradavelmente naturais contribuem para o sucesso da composição.
&& éh parece que a galera do TE gostou da capoeira!!!!
Um grande abraço aqui de Belem Carmem.

Oi Carmen, qdo li nao acreditei, pensei que era uma das cachoeiras do litoral norte, mas ai caiu a ficha, serra da cantareira, animal!!!eu nasci em sampa, mas acho que so fui a serra da cantareira umas 2-3 vezes. A foto esta muito legal e mostra pros gringos que mesmo na nossa cidade mais feia e poluida temos um retiro tao legal. O Brasil eh tudo, morro de saudades de casa...

Olá Carmen,

Gosto muito da Cantareira e de fazer as trilhas no parque, até aquela que desce até o horto florestal (só descida ;)!!).

A foto ficó muito bóa, com una luz espectacular na agua e na cachoeira.

Un abrazo e um final de semana maravilhoso!!
Carlos
