A Fire Rises

...In Fortaleza Beach (not to be confused with Praia Brava of Fortaleza, which is where I live, and which is about 11 minutes away from walking distance). No houses were burnt and no one was injured to my knowledge. The wildfire was impressive for a place that supposedly rains so much (folks often poke fun of Ubatuba, stamping the nickname "Ubachuva" due to its copious amounts of rainfall).

As a resident of Ubatuba, I can say that it doesn't rain as much as people like to complain about, but perhaps this year is drier than others...
