— I don’t nearly post as many shots of my hometown as I probably should. A city known for its seafood cuisine, beaches and stunning sunsets, Fortaleza takes pride in her laid-back lifestyle. Along the Beira-Mar Avenue, several places have specific areas for people to admire these sunsets. This particular shot was taken from the Ponte dos Ingleses (Englishmen Bridge), a popular area at sunset time. We worship the sun and what it brings us. At the end of the day, this coastal avenue is full of people jogging, biking or rollerblading. Vendors also set up their stands to sell a variety of handicraft artwork. There are also dozens of restaurants and bars. Fortaleza is the 5th largest city in Brazil with an estimated population of 2.6 million inhabitants.
