A fine set of images of your style I like.  Thanks for sharing.  I like #4 and 6 for the interesting geometry, but the others are no inferior.

Best regards.

Really?  If you have chance to come to Tokyo, can share your time and don't mind, please let me know.

I've planning a trip to Japan since long time ago. Never been there.
Maybe we'll go in the second half of September, if the gods allow.
I'll let you know.
Best regards.

Aguinaldo, I hope your dream will come true and am looking forward to seeing you in person!

I had to google where it is, just because your pictures are so good, that I needed to know it
except the one with the car, you treated nature very subtile in these pics  - great work

Thanks Thomas.
I've posted some color pics too.
About the place:
From Wikipedia:
The Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses) is a national park located in Maranhão state, in northeastern Brazil, just east of the Baía de São José, between 02º19’—02º45’ S and 42º44’—43º29’ W. It is an area of low, flat, occasionally flooded land, overlaid with large, discrete sand dunes. It encompasses roughly 1,500 km2 (580 sq mi), and despite abundant rain, supports almost no vegetation. The area became a National Park on June 2, 1981.
Composed of large, white, sweeping dunes, at first glance Lençóis Maranhenses looks like an archetypal desert, but in fact it is not an actual one. Lying just outside the Amazon Basin, the region is subject to a regular rain season during the beginning of the year. The rains cause a peculiar phenomenon: fresh water collects in the valleys between sand dunes and is prevented from percolating down by a layer of impermeable rock which lies underneath the sand. The resulting blue, green and black "lagoons" are surrounded by the desert-like sand, and reach their fullest between July and September.

The lagoons have large numbers of fish that arrive when the lagoons are at their fullest after July, when they are interconnected to rivers such as the Rio Negro. One species of fish, the wolf fish or tiger fish (Hoplias malabaricus) stays dormant in the mud and moist areas after the majority of the water has evaporated, re-emerging during the next rainy season.
