Traveler Photos of Florianopolis

We tried to capture a torrential downpour with  this picture.  It is really something.  The amount of water that can fall out of the sky was unbelievable!  Short, powerful rains... Little lighthouse at the mouth of the river. The clouds and rain came in the last night, just in time for me to have to pack up my tent This the bridge that we had to cross everytime we went out into town!
