Modernism and charm in a great neighbourhood seen from the eyes of a woman!

I live in the city of Belo Horizonte.

I have created many threads here at SSP about various cities, though none of them had pics which were mine.

So, last week I decided to change that and went for a walk in charming neighbourhood of my city to take some pics.

The area is called "Cidade Jardim", wich means Garden City in portuguese.

It´s a residential area planned in the 40´s and wich had its boom in the 50´s and 60´s, so you´ll see lots of modernist homes.

The area seen from a distance. Lots of green.
