Florianópolis; the renewed Monte Serrat Square (2019)

English:
The Monte Serrat Square is located at the “Morro da Caixa” (“Reservoir Hill”), Florianópolis. This name comes from the fact that there is a large water reservoir in this neighborhood. In Florianópolis, private companies may ‘adopt’ squares, improving and maintaining their structures and keep them clean. Nice. However, it is not usual that such actions are applied on poor areas and, particularly, in the ‘morros’, where people have a low level of income and live. It is comforting to know that Monte Serrat Square was chosen to be revitalized, since people living there need more attention. With my friends Norton and Leão, we went to this square, in a Sunday morning, to take pictures of the renewed square. Monte Serrat is now beautiful and offers a privileged view of Florianópolis downtown. We met there some nice young girls and boys, with whom we exchanged some ideas. For the photos, I used and already old Olympus E-620 (12 Mp from 2009) and two Zuiko zooms, 14-42mm and 4-150mm.
Portugues:
A praça Monte Serrat fica no Morro da Caixa, em Florianópolis. Esse nome é devido a uma imensa caixa de água lá colocada (não visível). Nesta cidade, há um programa de revitalização de praças pelo qual empresas “adotam” praças, melhorando-as e mantendo-as limpas. Bacana. Porém, isso é raramente feito em regiões de menor poder aquisitivo e, em particular, em “morros”. Os moradores do Morro da Caixa são, geralmente, pessoas de baixo poder aquisitivo e é reconfortante saber que a Praça Monte Serrat foi escolhida para ser revitalizada. Norton, Leão e eu fomos lá, num domingo de manhã, para registar essa praça renovada. Além de ter ficado bonita, a praça oferece uma vista privilegiada do centro da cidade. Lá encontramos 3 graciosas meninas e dois rapazes, todos muito agradáveis e simpáticos. Para esses registros, utilizei uma já veterana Olympus E-620 (12 Mp, de 2009) e dois zooms Zuiko, 14-42mm e 40-150mm.
