Superb shots, Eduardo. And thanks for the variety of meanings for dead-end. T think that dead-ends are places or circumstances to find a detour round, not just come to a stop and turn back.

Bom dia Eduardo, concordo com a Solange que é interesante trazer para a gente o outro lado das cidades grandes, e não somente o belo. Se bem que estas fotos nos mostram uma realidade cruel, sim, mas sob a ótica da fotografia, é um belo trabalho. Parabéns, Eduardo.

SOLANGE: Mais suave? Ich, então errei na mão, porque queria mostrar o mais fiel possível à realidade.

MIKE: If there is a detour round then it should be called "dying end"... For me "dead end" means a point of no return, when all your hopes are over, when there is no way out. That's the way I see some of our cities - and our politics, with daily & endless scandals. Hope there will be some light at the end of this tunnel...

GAYLET: Nice capture? I expected it to be awful!

Edu, concordo quando vc diz que algumas de nossa cidade e alguns de nossos políticos estão nesse beco sem saída ou em fase terminal. Gosto das fotos, triste, lugares que ficaram pra trás. Belo tabblo.

Realidad así nomás, sin ninguna mirada piadosa, artística ni tamizada. Lo que ve mucha gente a las seis de la mañana y a las siete de la tarde: las mismas paredes sin salida, metafórica ni real... La única: que los atropelle el tren. No cambiaría si fuera el tren que va a REtiro o Constitución... No hay espacio para el arte ni la creación... Al menos, eso me parece: un no-camino.

Another side of our well-fare society, in brilliant captures.

Just yesterday evening I saw at the TV a newsreel about Brasil (Belem, Sao Paolo, Rio, ..) and I thought of you. They were speaking about "frogs trade", kidnapping..........I really hope that there will be soon a detour round.Ciao, dear friend.

Interesting concept and excellent shots of a rather bleak view.
