I'm back!!!

It has been a long time since my last post here! So many things happened, some losses, that’s the way it is…and life must go on! But sometimes we get stuck in a situation and when we realize, 3, 10, 20, an entire life has gone, like sand falling from our hands! So, now I’m back and in order to celebrate it I’m posting amazing photos from a friend of my sister, Marcos Estrella. He works as a technician and her job is to fix and maintain TV and radio antennas that are fixed on the top of Sumaré Hills, in Rio de Janeiro. His envied “office” is located in the middle of Tijuca Forest, the major urban forest on earth! The view from above is awesome and many of his amazing photos have been taken with a simple smart phone!

The Sumaré Hills form an exotic and irregular topographic elevation with more than 700 meters high! The surface of the top is very regular, where the antennas stay and can be seen from many different points of the city. Can you imagine how lucky he is with this kind of job? See below what he sees everyday, poor guy!!!

Um longo tempo se passou desde o meu último post! Tantas coisas aconteceram, algumas perdas, coisas da vida...mas, a gente tem que seguir em frente! No entanto, algumas vezes nos prendemos a uma determinada situação e, quando nos damos conta, 3, 10, 20, uma vida inteira já se passou, como areia escoando pelas mãos! Então, agora estou de volta e para celebrar, estou postando fotos maravilhosas de um amigo da minha irmã, Marcos Estrella. Ele trabalha como técnico na manutenção das antenas de rádio e de TV, que ficam no alto do Sumaré, aqui no Rio de Janeiro. Seu invejado “escritório” fica localizado no meio da Floresta da Tijuca, a maior floresta urbana do mundo! A vista lá de cima é fantástica e a muitas dessas fotos são tiradas com um simples smartphone!

O Morro do Sumaré forma uma exótica e irregular elevação topográfica com mais de 700 metros de altura! É no topo da montanha, que é bem plano, onde ficam as antenas, que podem ser vistas de vários locais da cidade. Você consegue imaginar o quão sortudo ele é por ter este emprego? Veja abaixo o que ele vê todos os dia, pobre rapaz!

Good to see you back again with some superb shots from your friend.
When someone is absent for a while, thoughts turn to thinking of how they are.
On a personal level, these last two years have been my most difficult in a variety of ways. It's hard but we need to celebrate or learn from it and then take it from here. Unfortunately my issues are ongoing everything is relative which I'm sure you can maybe understand.

Dear J_on,
Thank you for stopping by! Good to see that you have received my message! Yes, I can guess what you have been passing through…and the only cure for that is time! But I can see that you are the type of person who is able to learn from the vicissitudes of life, what is good! And healthy! But I also know that sometimes it hurts a lot…anyway, thanks God that we have our blogs, don’t you think so???
