Ferrugen: sea view- detail

 

 

Ferrugen out of season is utterly enchanting, with river, lake, beaches and woods intermingling: I could happily spend a month here painting.

 But in summer it must become completely over-run by tourists (often surfers) and rather exhausting.

A drive further south 1: Torres

My trip 

I drove south but I didn't stop in Imbituba on the way back up as originally planned. I drove to Gravatai via Torres and stopped on the way back in Ferrugen.

 The trip was a delight. I had the chance to work on a larger format and discover some new places.

Torres is a small, orderly and beautifully situated town with some wonderful rocks and splendid, if windy, beaches

On the first day the weather was rather wonderful. The second was overcast.
