Through Indaiatuba runs a long park next to a river, its more of a water control canal than a river but the city has tried to spruce it up with walking paths, footbridges and landscaped trees. Looking down the slope, I got this view of a small waterfalls and could hear the water splashing. The embankments were heavily eroded, revealing a rusty red-orange earth from below.

We had seen these large mounds in fields and parks around town, about a meter high, they are probably termite or maybe ant colonies. I wanted to paint one but we were stuck in a car and there wasn't a whole of free time, so I was glad to find one of them in this park. Down the slope is the river, it was at a low point. Later, a massive rain storm arrived and on the way out of Indaiatuba we saw the river really full and flowing.
