Update: You all are invited to see the beautiful post made by Jade, from Arboreality – Tree Blogging. She hostess the Festival of the Trees 6! And Leaves of Grass is also there!
Lovely! Some aspects of the architecture remind me of France.
ReplyDeleteI love old houses so much more than the new. They have so much character. Their intricate moldings and superior quality building materials just make them stand out!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are wonderful, as always. I especially loved the brownish houses with white trims.
What wonderful architecture you have shared with us. It looks like an amazing place to live.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Take care, Meow
They indeed look very old ! There must be a nice history behind. They look so much like in southern European countries Spain, Portugal and Italy. Where the style probably came from.
ReplyDeleteInteresting pictures !
Hi Sonia
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderfull old homes you have shared with us tonight
Sonia, I love old architecture. It has so much more character and there was much more care taken when constructing such. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBelas casas.... também gosto muito de casas antigas.
ReplyDeleteTenho lido seu blog e vi que é jornalista e mora em Enseada Azul. Vc trabalha aí mesmo?? É que sou jornalista, sonho em morar no interior mas não vejo boas perspectivas de trabalho.
Bjs

The architecture is very very interesting....I wondered when these houses were built...I mean the years...because there is a kind of similarity to many of them....I so enjoy seeing the many things of your country Sonia, that you show us....It is a great "tour"....I thank you for that, my dear!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us the old houses. Are there many old churches there? If so, have your husband make some pictures of them. Those are two of my favorite things....old houses and old churches.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful old buildings, all of them restored it looks like. Carlos's photos are always exquisite. I also felt sad to see the life and death of the beautiful tree below. There was a tree we all loved at La Casa de Maria in Santa Barbara. It was planted outside a huge altar window and it got a disease. Fortunately, I have photos of it before it died, as you have of your tree.
ReplyDeleteI love, love old buildings. They have such character and so unique! Those houses are beautiful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful, I hope to someday visit Brazil.
ReplyDeleteLovely homes! Some neat architecture there. I wonder how old some of them are? Thanks for the great pictures Sonia. Great photos!!
ReplyDeleteSonia, I love your old houses, they are so much better than new one! They have history!
ReplyDeleteToday I also blogged old houses!
Sigrun
Beautiful stately architecture and warm colours too.
ReplyDeleteThankyou S.
When I see buildings like this, it reminds me of just how cold and sterile architecture is in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the pictures.
A stunning peek of a lovely culture. I'm dying to peek inside ;)
ReplyDeleteSonia,
ReplyDeleteadorei ... e bem conservadas, né!
Beijão!
Sonia
ReplyDeleteNós temos muitas coisas em comum...he!he!
Também adoro fotografar casas antigas..tenho muitas fotos de casarões...
Como vc faz para colocar no seu blog uma foto embaixo da outra?rsss...
Beautiful my lovely one.
ReplyDeleteHugs and smiles across the miles.
Love Jeanne ^j^
Lovely pictures! I bet each of these old houses have many stories they could tell (if they could talk!)
ReplyDelete((hugs)) to you across the many miles!!
These old buildings certainly have style Sonia. Very nice wrought iron work. Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteI don't know any Portuguese, but son bonitas! I'm sure you understand.
ReplyDeleteSonia, I like the photos (particularly the first and the last), and the one with the red ironwork, which is very nice.

ReplyDeleteSonia, que casarões lindos! Ai que delícia.
ReplyDeleteComo são bonitas e bem conservadas essas casas !
ReplyDeleteLindo post e parabéns ao excelente fotógrafo !
Those are lovely photot, SOnia.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting them.
I love (LOVE) old houses...so much texture and character! What is amazing, though, is that they can be difficult to photograph (or, it's difficult to catch their spirit, if you know what I mean). But, your photos are fantastic! They catch everything and are so beautiful Thanks for sharing these AWESOME photos (and hugs to you!).
ReplyDeleteThe architecture is so strong ... so powerful ... so lasting with the impression of security. They are lovely. What a wonderful town to be born in.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely buildings...Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteQue boa idéia fazer um post sobre casas antigas ! As fotos estão ótimas, muito nítidas.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I like that you are writing in Portuguese now too. I enjoyed trying to figure out the words, and then comparing it to the English! (I think I already told you that I belive Portuguese is the most beautiful language in the world!)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed seeing examples of the architecture in your part of the world, and from a particular era. So interesting, and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSonia, cheguei aqui através da Camila. Quase caí da cadeira quando vi as fotos. Meu pai nasceu em São José! Minha tia ainda mora lá... e passei muito tempo da minha infância vendo estes casarões, a padaria... o Clube... Bjs!
ReplyDeleteque casas maravilhosas, Sonia! eu morei em uma assim, parecida com essas.... que fantastico saber que ha um projeto de preservacao. beijao pra voce,
ReplyDeleteDescobri entre as casas o sobrado onde minha bisavó faleceu em 1907. Muito obrigado pelas lindas fotos!
