Hi and welcome to part two of this series, always an unknown number of them, still,
hope You like it

On this part there will be more nature and less street art (there will be more in future posts), and a connection made with another human being (I really dislike people, yes, there are differences, people = masks, humans are the true physical beings we are here, for now..)

For better access to the entire series, in the end of each post will be a list of previous posts of the series and as soon as the next post is published, will be added to the 'Next post:' section!

As soon as we start to get near the periphery of the urbanized area we encounter remnants of nature still fighting the tar, cement and bricks jungle..

Nature always find a way..

In front of the plant growing from a hole in the wall, a vine enveloping the metal fence..

Nature fighting back..

A friend contemplating bits of nature

All of this owned by Mr. Armando Tavares Lopes, owner of the 'Retiro do Operário'
(Blue-Collar Retreat) Coffehouse/Restaurant

Retiro do Operário

When I've got there I started taking some photographies of the flowers, herbs, and Mr Armando came to the door asking if there was any sort of problem, I've told him that there was none and explained what I was doing, just taking a few shots to show in a social network and we chatted for about an hour, maybe more, don't really know since I don't use watches, mobile phones..
Told him that I knew him for about 30 years more or less, but only from sight, that I've passed great part of my infancy playing nearby and even that I've went to the near tennis courts to steal tennis balls xD (shhh don't tell, no harm done and even the guard dogs were friendly and have never bitten ^.^), got to know that he served in war and was against it, how he had used AM radio to contact his wife when they were younger, that the place used to get 50 to 70 tables served at each meal but now is not that much active sometimes not serving more than a hand-full of people, he has even given interviews to 2 of the 4 national television channels, he also told me that most of the plants and herbs have a medicinal purpose in teas or are used for seasoning the food, and a lot more but I'll leave it here..

It was very cool of him to be so hearth opened about his life and actually had a decent conversation, back and forth, hence the mention I've made earlier about humans vs people/persons, when I noticed the light of the day starting to fade remembered what I got out to do with my friend and asked if I could take a picture of him in front of the establishment for publishing here and to have a registry to future generations, to which he replied joking, "there you go, a picture of an old man" we laughed a bit, a couple of usual clients arrived and we both said farewell, I took a few more shots of the nature "found" and continued walking with my friend..
