Daydreaming travel - Streets of São Paulo #2 / Calles de São Paulo #2 (eng/esp).

in #travel7 years ago (edited)
Continuing with the memories of this trip, this time I present a small series of photographs taken in the vicinity of the Municipal Theater of São Paulo. Located in Praça Ramos De Azevedo (Portuguese for square), this theater is a milestone of architecture, the project carried out by the architect Ramos de Azevedo , it was inaugurated in 1911. With influence of the Paris Opera, the construction was considered very daring for the time.
Continuando con los recuerdos de este viaje, esta vez les presento una pequeña serie de fotografías tomadas en las cercanías del Teatro Municipal de São Paulo. Ubicado en la Praça Ramos De Azevedo (portugués para plaza). Este teatro es un hito de la arquitectura, el proyecto realizado por el arquitecto Ramos de Azevedo, el teatro fue inaugurado en 1911. Con influencia de la Ópera de París, la construcción fue considerada muy arrojada para la época.


I share with you a series of street photographs that I took randomly during my stay, nothing very professional. At the time, I had a Kodak Easy Share c653 digital camera, the photos are not very spectacular, but definitely worth sharing.
Comparto con ustedes una serie de fotografías callejeras que tomé aleatoriamente durante mi estancia, nada muy profesional. En este entonces, tenía una cámara digital Kodak Easy Share c653, las fotos no muy espectaculares, pero definitivamente vale la pena compartirlas.

I spent almost an hour just looking at its beauty, its soft and accented lines.
Pasé casi una hora solo mirando su belleza, sus líneas suaves y acentuadas.

Its exterior architecture has Baroque Renaissance features of the seventeenth century. There are six bronze sculptures on the main façade of the Theater, with the two main sculptural groups entitled "Music" and "The drama". Also on the main facade there are two sculptures of Atlantes in sandstone. Four busts of white marble distributed in the lateral facades represent the following Greek muses: Euterpe (lyric poetry and music), Thalia (comedy), Melpoméne (tragedy) and Terpsichore (dance).

As if its wonderful ending was not enough, imagine the place when the light passes through its elegant stained glass.
Como si su maravillosa terminación no fuese suficiente, imaginen el lugar cuando la luz atraviesa sus elegantes vitrales.

This beautiful work of architectural art is located in the heart of the city.
Esta hermosa obra de arte arquitectónica se encuentra en el corazón de la ciudad.

Trying to talk to the people who passed by (I don't speak portuguese, but it's quite similar to spanish), I found out that the theater has underground passages in the basement with exit to the Praça Ramos De Azevedo . These passages were originally constructed with the intention of ventilating the theater.
Intentando hablar con las personas que por ahí pasaban (no hablo portugués, pero se parece bastante al español), me enteré de que el teatro cuenta con pasajes subterráneos en el subsuelo con salida a la plaza Ramos de Azevedo. Estos pasajes fueron originalmente construidos con la intención de ventilar el teatro.
You could think it's just a light post but..
Look at its details!

You can find awesome architectural details even in the light posts.
Puedes encontrar increíbles detalles arquitectónicos incluso en los postes de luz.

Art is not only inside the theater, let's say that it overflows from it. In the vicinity of it, you find people painting, drawing and even singing. Art is something that is not lacking in São Paulo. This time, an older man caught my attention, sitting with his keyboard in the middle of the street, performing nothing more and nothing less than songs by the King of Rock & Roll , Elvis Presley.
El arte no sólo está dentro del teatro, digamos que este se desborda desde él. En los alrededores del mismo, encuentras personas pintando, dibujando e incluso cantando. El arte es algo que no falta en São Paulo. Esta vez, llamó mi atención un hombre mayor, sentado con su teclado en medio de la calle, interpretando nada más y nada menos que canciones del Rey del Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley.

If you detail the photograph you have on your keyboard, you can see that the man had the shirt with the same Elvis design.
Si detallan la fotografía que tiene en su teclado, pueden ver que el hombre tenía la camisa con el mismo diseño de Elvis.

I have a lot more photos of this trip, I'll show you in another post!

¡ Aún queda mucho más por ver de este viaje, te lo mostraré en los siguientes posts!

Sort:  

Me encantaron las estatuas del teatro! Muy gracioso el viejo orquesta jajaja.

Great photographs @vanessapineda7. They capture the mood of the place well. I love the detail on the lamp post! 😊

They were all different, i wish i could show them all!

I know what you mean @vanessapineda7. I take loads of shots and then can't choose between them. Then I end up with loads of photographs filling up my phone. I keep meaning to sort them out but it's a big job. 😁

Lol yes! That's how it is, even if no other sees it, those photos are different, even just for an inch!

I know @vanessapineada7. And then I spends ages agonising over which ones to keep and which ones to delete. And there's a voice in my head that says "if it's so different to tell the differ nce between them it doesn't matter which one you keep and which ones you delete.

It doesn't help though. Most of the time I am so indecisive I just leave them all there and try again another day. usually with the same outcome! 😂

LOOOOL! And when you delete one, the voice comes back and says: "you wanted that picture, why did you delete it? It could look so great on steemit, but you deleted it".

HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME

Exactly @vanessapineda7! 😂 😂 😂

... imagine the place when the light passes through its elegant stained glass.

It's really must be wonderful!

Unfortunely I wasn' allow to take pictures inside the theater.. But believe me: it was stunning.

Hola from Australia, I noticed your upvote and comment on @NIKV nastygnomes contest and I thought I would check out your blog. I really enjoyed seeing your posts on travel and food (tres leches) yum. My mum is from Peru and I was brought up eating a lot of the delicious Peruvian food and hearing spanish from all our relatives. I can understand more than I can speak unfortunately. I love that on steemit you get to see so many different countries and cultures, I look forward to your future posts.
