It was the end of the dry season so I didn’t do much in the way of landscapes when I was in Brazil, but I was intrigued by the termite mounds that seemed to be everywhere. This one was taken first thing in the morning just outside the lodge I was staying at in the Pantanal.
I believe they’re “cupinzeiros”, nest of what we call “cupim”, a bug (order Isoptera) that lives in the city or even in the fields and eats wood. Wherever they live they cause huge damages and it’s really difficult to exterminate them.

Cool shot Sean. So, how does this affect your real estate values if you have a bunch of these in your backyard? :-))))
