My South American home for a few days is the 8th floor apartment of friends Michael & Marcelo. In this view from their home, Sao Paulo seems to sprawl out forever. Tall buildings as far as I can see. This is a dense, vibrant city with strikingly eclectic architecture. Of course, it’s impossible to capture with a snapshot and quite a lot to try and absorb in just a few days. Just so much to see and study.

Arriving at Amsterdam’s Centraal Station (after the short train ride from Schiphol Airport) leads you right into a massive bike parking structure. In the downtown canal area of central Amsterdam, bikes have the right of way (ahead of pedestrians and then cars).
For the seventh year in a row I’m in The Netherlands for IDFA, the world’s largest documentary festival. Off we go…

LA TIMES: “Mexican authorities on Tuesday blamed organized crime for the blasts in Morelia, the capital of Michoacan, a western state with a long history of drug trafficking. In the 21 months since Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared war on Mexico’s powerful drug-smuggling networks, this was the first time civilians had been directly and indiscriminately targeted. And Mexicans were forced to confront a new kind of victim amid rising fears that, now, anyone is fair game.”
MORE: “The explosions created pandemonium during one of Mexico’s most beloved celebrations. The grito, a flag-waving commemoration of the 1810 declaration of war to break from Spanish rule, is held in plazas all over Mexico on Sept. 15, the eve of Independence Day.”
