Another take from Ibirapuera Park  - after showing you the trees and someone taking a nap, more than time to show you a bit of the Park.  

Ibirapuera is to SP what the Central Park is to New York.
From Wikipedia:

Inaugurated in 1954 for the 400th anniversary of the city, with buildings designed by famous architect Oscar Niemeyer and landscape by designer Roberto Burle Marx, Ibirapuera Park covers an area of almost 2 square kilometres (0.77 sq mi). It is the second biggest park in the city. Admission is free.

Features
The park complex contains several buildings, most of them designed by Oscar Niemeyer. They include:

The Grande Marquise ("The great marquee"), where the MAM - Museu de Arte Moderna ("Modern Art Museum") is located;

The Cicillo Matarazzo Pavilion, home for the Museum of Contemporary Art, University of São Paulo, and a space for events and expos, including the São Paulo Art Biennial and the São Paulo Fashion Week;

The Manoel da Nóbrega Pavilion, which until 1992 was the city hall;

The Lucas Nogueira Garcez Pavilion, formerly known as "Palácio das Exposições"("Expositions Palace") and now known as the Oca ("hut", given its round shape), which harbors both the Museu da Aeronáutica ("Air Force Museum") and the Museu do Folclore ("Folklore Museum");

The Armando de Arruda Pereira Pavilion, home for the Prodam - Companhia de Processamento de Dados do Município ("Municipal Data Processing Company");

The Palácio da Agricultura ("Agriculture Palace"), home of Detran, municipal transit department. The building was originally intended to harbor the municipal agriculture department;

The Planetarium and Municipal Astrophysics School. The Planetarium building which is shaped like a flying saucer. It was the first Planetarium in the Southern Hemisphere and has a dome which is 20 meters in diameter. The German projection machine shows the sky above São Paulo from dusk to dawn. During the projection a professional astronomer explains the most famous stars and constellations as well as the movements of the Earth and other planets;

The Gymnasium;

The Japanese Pavilion;

The Monumento às Bandeiras;

The Ibirapuera Auditorium, controversial building that was on the original Niemeyer plan, but was only built recently;

The Obelisk of São Paulo, symbol of the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932.

These days, the pinky ipês are in full bloom.  Late August, the yellow ipês will change the hue.

The small bridge in the background will be shown in another opportunity.
Hope you like it.  Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Olá Isabel,
A very beautiful picture in pink! Very beautiful frame with the tree!
Parabéns!
Este Parque do Ibirabuera... um dia ainda vou visitá-lo!
Docarmo

Hi Isabelle,
this is a nice capture well composed and presented. You've perfectly placed the tree off center leaving room for the eye to enjoy the view of the cityscape and the lake in the fg. Lucky you to have such a beautiful place in the city..here in Manchester the equivalent of Central Park is a sort of rectangle 7x4 meters...so sad :(
Very nice job, I like it.
Take care,
Igor

Nossa esse Parque tem bastante coisa dentro, deve dar excelentes fotos. Me diz uma coisa, o que é essa estrutura onde estão os mergulhões? É algo para canoismo, ou faz parte de um chafariz? Aquele chafariz colorido ainda existe?
Abraço

Ola Isabelle,
You show this very interesting tree to good advantage against the background of sky with the ground below littered with the flowers. The water with it's bird covered dock and the bridge add interesting details.  I'll look forward to the closer detail of the bridge. The cityscape is well identified in your note.  

I had never heard of this tree so I had to look it up from your note to Phil; it really is a very beautiful and interesting tree. I was particularly interested in its medicinal uses.

Hi, Isabelle -

A pretty scene, nicely framed; the shadow light comes through well. Definitely conveys the feeling of a coming spring. I'd like to see another one taken from a slightly lower angle so that the branches don't obscure the buildings.

Best,
Dan

Hi Isable
Nice framing using the tree. Is it a Jacaranda tree by any chance?
