As I entered their street a soft snow began to fall. There was not a breath of wind to jar the snowflakes from their path as they fell gently around me. The only sound was the crunching of snow underfoot as I made my way down the tree-lined street.”

The power of the water astounded me. They created rainbows at every turn.

If you’re ever down this way, they are a must-see.

I know I have been remiss about uploading new written content of late but with the holidays disrupting my regular routine, things have been a little crazy here in Brazil.

Fear not, that article is on its way! With any luck, I will upload a rundown of my Brazilian Christmas and New Year by the end of the week.

In the meantime, please enjoy a snippet of the New Year fireworks display I had the privilege of watching over the weekend in Tôrres.

Catch you on the flip side!

Due to the strong wind, I spun around wildly as I descended so please excuse some of the footage. I did try to slow it down in my video editor.

Enjoy!
