I live in the city of Belo Horizonte.
I have created many threads here at SSP about various cities, though none of them had pics which were mine.
So, last week I decided to change that and went for a walk in charming neighbourhood of my city to take some pics.
The area is called "Cidade Jardim", wich means Garden City in portuguese.
It´s a residential area planned in the 40´s and wich had its boom in the 50´s and 60´s, so you´ll see lots of modernist homes.
The area seen from a distance. Lots of green.
