Fraiburgo’s Coat of arms

The coat of arms of Fraiburgo was elaborated in Paris, in 1964, by the artist Heráldico Robert Louis following the request of Albert Mahler, who was a French immigrant, entrepreneur and partner of the Frey Brothers organization, and who settled in Fraiburgo at the very beginning of its creation.

Caleidoscópio Tchozino / Fraiburguese Kaleidoscope

10 - As quatro estações la no frai 3Tchozinhos e tchozinhas,
Quando a gente fica muito tempo longe do Frai, a saudades cutuca a gente com um espeto de michuim de elefante bem na paleta! Que dor Jaguara home do céu! Nessa edição preparei um caleidoscópio anual situacional semiorgânico pangéico meso-lipoproteico das 4 estações do ano em Fraiburgo – Santa Catarina – Brasil, pois, quando estamos fora do Frai, principalmente fora do Brasil, um dos maiores desafios de expressão é contar sobre o Brasil não tropical, aquele jaguarento de frio e colorido ao longo ano. Sinceramente espero que esta edição possa ajudá-los onde quer que estejam enfrentando tal problema. Nesse, processo, escolher as melhores fotos em meio a milhares, não foi moleza, mas tinha que sair uma hora. Além das fotos do verão e outono que assumo a autoria, vale aqui dar os créditos à Andréia Mello pela foto da primavera. A imagem do inverno, até hoje não sei quem foi, o autor(a) tudo o que sei é que alguém encaminhou por email nos anos de 2004, neste caso, acho justo entregar o crédito a Hollobyte informática que me ensinou os princípios do backup (cópia) dos dados. Sem este conhecimento elementar da informática, essa foto que vai se espalhar pelo mundo, não existiria. Aproveitando o momento, foi esta imagem que me fez cair a ficha sobre a importância de mudar a visão que temos das coisas tchozinas…Há muita coisa espetacular meio-oeste do universo. Enfim, a região do meio-oeste de Santa Catarina é linda e Fraiburgo dá um show! No verão é tempo de curtir a colheita da maçã, as cachoeiras e chuvas com gotas com aproximadamente um litro cada! No outono e primavera é tempo de mudança e de muitas cores. O inverno época de fogão a lenha, pinhão e paisagens congeladas quase todas as manhãs, pés e mãos frias por todo o dia, pra quem está visitando é legal!    

Ladies and Gentileman,
How have you been doing? What a long time no English talks over here. I am really sorry about it! Let me apologise myself, I have been tremendously busy lately since I decided to become an entrepreneur. As a result, the blog went far to the end of the priority list. Anyways, It is good to be back. Here is the top most special and expressive pictures so far in the history of the blog. With this kaleidoscopical view I wish to express deep the changes over the the seasons in the not so widely known sub-tropical Brazil. Fraiburgo has plenty of things to do all year long, but what you can expect in the summer is to pick apples directly from the tree, visit some waterfalls, enjoy big rainbows. In the autumn you will feel that everything change in preparation to a cold winter, which is the least colourful but not the least beautiful season of the year. That is when every, or almost every, morning the world looks frozen, but the time passes by life and nature insist to continue and to move on! Spring time, live changes, colours come up again and so on! Hope that you can have a beter understanding about what is Brazil

Dames en heren,

Dit is de eerste keer dat ik hier op mijn blog in het Nederlands probeer te schrijven. Wat een uitdaging! Ik ben al 3 jaar terug in Brazilië dus jullie kunnen voorstellen hoe moeilijk het is om hier Nederlands te oefenen. Hoewel er een paar nederlanders in Florianópolis wonen is het grooste probleem om een taal te behouden het gebrek aan vrije tijd om te studeren. Het idee om Nederlands schrijven is om contact te houden met de cultuur en om misschien motiveren ons “ tchozinhos(as)” andere talen en culturen te bestuderen. Natuurlijk is dat de kans dat dat gebeurd is klein, maar ik doe wat ik kan doen. Niets meer niets minder.

Trouwens, wist je dat Brazilië heeft een subtropische regio heeft? Als je het niet wist, de bestaansreden van dit blog is om Fraiburgo te laten zien aan de wereld, dus … wat vind je van de foto, is het goed genoeg? … dit is Fraiburgo, gelegen in het centrum van de zuiden van Brazilië en werd gekoloniseerd door Italianen en Duitsers … je vraagt je misschien af wat is de relatie tussen Fraiburgo en Nederland? Het antwoord is niets, maar dat kan altijd veranderen. Misschien zal op een dag Fraiburgo een mooi nederlands molen hebben om haar internationale karakter te laten zien. Wie weet? Ik zou willen dat een dag nieuwsgierige Nederlanders naar Fraiburgo bezoeken en onze 4 verschillende seizoenen ervaren! Dat is alles voor nu ! veel groetjes van uit het mooie Santa Catarina!
