Trianon Park in São Paulo ~ Parque Trianon em São Paulo

Trianon Park  (officially know as the Lieutenant Siqueira Campos Park) is a 48 thousand square meters recreational beautiful area in São Paulo, Brazil, in front of Paulista Avenue, that offers to visitors a glimpse of the Atlantic tropical forest. Shade and benches are plentiful. The Park is a perfect way for locals and visitors to relax for the traffic and the agitation of a big city like São Paulo. The project of the Park was created by landscapers designers Paul Villon and Barry Parker and inaugurated in Abril 3, 1892.

  9. Love your post Sonia...
    Trees are beautiful..
    "Trees are sanctuaries.
    Whoever knows how to speak to them,
    whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth.
    They do not preach learning and precepts,
    they preach undeterred by particulars,
    the ancient law of life."
    - Hermann Hesse, Wandering

  16. Sorry, off topic but: BRASIL and NEYMAR! That was so thrilling. I watched it, start to finish, biting my nails, then all the way through the medal ceremony and beyond. Congratulations!

  20. Querida Sónia
    Um oásis de verdura no meio de uma grandiosa cidade, que tive o prazer de visitar!
    Lindo local e que nos fornece o oxigénio de que tanto se necessita numa cidade 7 vezes maior do que Paris!
    As fotografias tiradas pelo seu marido não devem nada às outras que publica: estão espectaculares!
    Parabéns.
    Um beijinho
    Beatriz
