Paraty is a city with almost 350 years old, between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazilian states. Its atmosphere is full of life with beautiful and bright colored buildings and a lot of people walking through the streets. The old center has many restaurants, different shops, painters, sculptors and photographers' ateliers, mixed with craftsmen, fashion designers, bookstores. The old and the new coexist in harmony. The city's relationship with the sea and rivers is intrinsic. Part of the city has its streets filled with water when the tide rises. And beautiful reflections can be seen on a winter afternoon. These images were taken in July 2012.
