LATIN AMERICA IN BLACK AND WHITE no.12 - Hotel Solara in the Pelourinho district of Salvador, Brazil

Although I never stayed at the Hotel Solara in the Pelourinho district of Salvador, Brazil, I walked past it everyday and would pop in to get some water or a snack. People were friendly with me, so it was one of the little landmarks I used during my stay in Salvador. It was right after Carnaval so people were tired, but this child had lots of energy! This image always reminds me of how intense was the sunlight those days. There was a real heat wave that went up to 40 - 45C some days - too hot even for the Brazilians who mainly stayed cool in the shade.
