Caravela?, a photo from Santa Catarina, South

Photographer's Note

Another shot from the same point of view, on the top of a hill, as seen here or here. That's a replica of old portuguese "caravelas", that crossed Atlantic Ocean and got at Brazilian coast five centuries ago. This one probably has an engine, as there's no sails in it; tourists may go in it for a small travel by Camboriu's bay.

Pozdrav sa balkana iz Srbije.
Ova lepa fotografija vratila me je za trenutak u proslost i lepote teskog i napornog putovanja velikih moreplovaca.
Lep dan, Paja.

Pelo tamanho, me parece mais um nau do que uma caravela, as caravelas eram bem compactas e mais altas senão me engano, em Porto Seguro, tem uma réplica da do Cabral.
Bonita foto, e enquadramento, poderia ter umas velas estendidas do mastro, daria um belo efeito visual.
Abraço
Andre
