Pizza and palm trees



















It’s great to be back in Brazil again and I’m greeted with wall-to-wall blue skies. 

During my last few days in London, staring out of the hotel window across the surrounding roofs and chimneys of Paddington, I was trying to decide which shade of grey the sky most resembled — it seemed to me to be a cross between the dark slate roof tiles, and the lighter grey of the lead flashing — a reflection of the landscape perhaps.

To be fair, it’s not exactly comparing like with like: London in late winter, and Brazil in late summer, but there is an intense quality of light here that makes everything dazzlingly clear, a bit like looking through a 3D viewer.
