Well... at least among cities under 300k
To start, today I went for a stroll to take a few photos of the construction progress of PRIME CORPORATE CENTER, a small commercial building at downtown. Yeah yeah... I am sure its nothing at all to you forumers from Chicago, NY, Shanghai, etc. But its a big deal for us highrise lovers in medium sized brazilian cities! (fyi, Novo Hamburgo is the 96th largest municipality, population wise, in Brazil)

I am still in doubts if the blue mirrored glass, so common nowadays, was the best solution, since at the original renders, the glass was supposed to be mirrored black.
Afterwards, I run up some hills around the city, amid residential neighborhoods, to take panoramic shots of the central part of the city, taking advantage of the beautiful end of summer day.

16 - The catholic cathedral... in southern Brazil, due to german influence, many cities do also have lutheran churches, thus unlike most of Brazil, we do make that distinction when speaking about churches. It was recently (last year) repainted in this weird dark gray color...
THATS IT. Sorry if you wanted more. You are welcome if you were already getting bored by this lack of 100 floors buildings
