Up on the laundry platform, at the top of the spiral staircase, the cat was having a nap. Some of my laundry was up there drying, although there was not a whole lot of sun the last few days, it rained profusely. You can also see the concrete walls painted cobalt blue with orange tiling, and the outdoor laundry room under the platform.

In front of the family home there is a very steep road in bad shape, on the other side they built up a bunch of auto-shops and car supplier businesses. This yellow-leaf tree was quite impressive against the greyish background. It made for a very textural scene.

Near the end of the trip and I had not used all of the 8 x 10" that I brought. This one shows more of the roof tops visible from the bedroom window. Its an impressive array of angles, textures and colours. When it rains, these roofs must be completely leak-proof, otherwise the houses would flood. Up in the top left you see some of the mega-condo complex they built over the last 3 years.

The Park Ipe neighborhood is centered on a sports-park, now its full of basketball, volleyball, small soccer pitches, and tennis courts. Here you see a quick painting done of the tennis courts while out on a walk with Cilei's father and nephew. It rained shortly after we left.
