This is my entry for The World of XPILAR - CITYSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART CONTEST WEEK #088. It is a tiny planet image that I took using my 360 degree camera, of the statue of one of the founders of the city (Sorocaba) where we live; Baltazar Fernandes, located in front of the monastery. Thanks to Xpilar, Axeman and all the moderators and members of the World of Xpilar community! 🇧🇷

Captain Baltazar Fernandes was born in 1580 and was a Portuguese colonist who was the founder and one of the first settlers of Sorocaba in 1654. He built a house on the edge of the Sorocaba River and also a chapel, which is now the Sorocaba Metropolitan Cathedral. In 1660, he donated land, plantations and slaves to the Benedictines, which later became the foundation of the Monastery of St. Benedict (Mosteiro de São Bento em Português) which is located behind the statue. The monument is dedicated in his memory and serves as a reminder of the history of this important character in the founding of the city.
Here is another image, this time it is in the format of an inverted tiny planet from the same 360 degree photo that I took:
