Looking west along the Avenida Marechal Deodora da Fonseca at Guarujá, São Paulo, Brazil 1961. High-rise apartment blocks start to dominate the beach-front scene even in the early 1960s. Guarujá is located in Santo Amaro island and is a city in the São Paulo state. This place name comes from the Tupi language, and means ‘narrow path’. This image is from an old amateur 35mm colour transparency.


The beach front at Santos, Brazil 1961. High-rise apartment blocks dominate the beach-front scene even in the early 1960s. Rowing boats (barcos) are available for hire. Santos is a city in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, founded in 1546 by the Portuguese nobleman Brás Cubas. It is located mostly on the island of São Vicente, which is home to both the city of Santos and the city of São Vicente, and partially on the mainland. This image is from an old amateur 35mm colour transparency. It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
