Photographer’s Note

Winters in this region can be hard. Here we were in the begining of the winter and the area had been hit by some severe frosts. You can see that the African grass was killed by the ice while the lemmon tree and the native trees had survived and were green yet. In this area most of tropical plants suffer lots of damage during the winter. There isn't any banana, mango, papaya, avocato and other tropical fruits that are usual in my town,located 140 kilometers at west.

Invernos nesta região podem ser severos. Aqui estávamos no início do inverno e uma série de geadas fortes já havia atingido a área. Podemos ver que a grama africana foi totalmente destruída pelo gelo enquanto que o limoeiro e as árvores nativas continuavam verdes. Nesta área a maior parte das plantas tropicais sofre danos pesados durante o inverno, ali não existem bananas, mangas, mamões,abacates e outas frutas tropicais que são comuns em minha cidade, localizada a 140 quilômetros à oeste dali.
