Cities and Places

 

This album is a collection of various cities and places in Brazil. Most of the photographs have been contributed by the missionaries that served there. Some are old and historic and reflect the environment in which the missionaries worked. Others reflect hardship of life in interior Brazil and the conditions in which many people lived, and continue to live. Most of the pictures however, are of the beauty of Brazil; her people, cities, and vistas.
