Photos of my tropical campus

This latest virtual exhibition comes from my wanderings around the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais campus. I wish I could take an aerial shot of the campus for you. Altogether it is stunningly beautiful. It's located on a hill on the southwest side of town, and sorta overlooks the city from its highest point. But location aside, the undulating hills and the random corners of unpredictably laid buildings are a treat to the eye every time i walk onto campus. Here are just a few of the images I've tried to capture and make my own - at least as much as I possibly can.

The main library of one of the country's top universities sits in the shadow of a favela, one of Brazil's many poor neighborhoods recognized around the world for their buildings of multiple colors mounted one on top of another, almost always on a hillside
