My constant view, during this past weekend…
This week’s WordPress photographic theme is “Summer“.
Also, responding to a very kind request from “Where’s my backpack?”, here are a few mages from this unique bar/restaurant where customers are served while swimming/diving in the fresh waters of the Paradise Lagoon, by the coast of Ceará, Brazil.
This is one of the best known ‘postal cards’ of Ceara, Brazil. Jericoacoara is a beach located 300 km from Fortaleza, state of Ceara, in the municipality of Gijoca (Jijoca of Jericoacoara) – Until 1985 it was a simple fishermen village, without electricity, roads, telephone or television, lost in between immense white dunes and completely isolated from the rest of the world, until thetourism discovered it and year ’round, explorers come from all parts of the globe to witness this unique event - the sun setting through the rock’s opening. My husband and I tried to capture it:

I can see it’s really tough being there, but someone has to do it.

Absolutely… and… why not? It’s a paradise on Earth… the Blue Lagoon (shown here) meets the Paradise Lagoon during the Summer months… a real treat for the eyes (and souls!)

What an amazing part of the world, I can see why they call it Paradise Lagoon. Order me a drink with an umbrella in it, would you, I’m on my way!

It was a great vacation, have to say… But, we had to get back to reality… and reality right now is knocking on my door, reminding me kids are back to school on Monday, and i gotta make sure uniforms, school materials, school bus, are all taken care… and by all, I’m also including hair cuts!

Thank you John! The beach is incredibly beautiful – an unique mixture of dark greeen and clear blue waters – there used to be two lagoons: Paradise and Blue. The dry season mixes them both together, and recently, it’s possible to observe just a large one – maybe, a “Blue Paradise”?
