What guided this image
Landmarks
Lagoa do Taquaral; Metropolitan Cathedral of Campinas; Station of the Companhia Mogiana; Castelo; University of Campinas; expansive urban parks
Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint across Lagoa do Taquaral looking toward the replica caravel and the city skyline, showing weeping willows and lagoon walkways in the foreground, the historic caravel ship and lake waters in the middle-ground, and the rolling green hills and modern skyline of Campinas in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick Atlantic Forest remnants of Bosque dos Jequitibás, weeping willows around Lagoa do Taquaral, and roadside ipês.
Guarded against
Avoid confusing Campinas with São Paulo (no endless concrete canyon walls; Campinas is characterized by wide lagoons, green parks, and rolling hills).
