…back on the road…the longing was immense…this time through the interior of northeastern Argentina in a region that I knew little about…

Obelisk of the State Center – Geometric center of the State of São Paulo. Construction 1951 (71 years). National heritage. Classification: CONDEPHAAT. City of Dorado. Coordinates: 22° 04′ 12″ S 48° 26′ 01″ W.
It is located at the confluence of the ‘Comandante João Ribeiro de Barros highway’ (SP-255) with the ‘Luís Augusto de Oliveira Highway’ (SP-215) in the municipality of Dourado, 265 km from São Paulo city, the state capital city.
An obelisk was erected near the site, marking the proximity to the geometric center of the state, or geographic center as it is better known. The monument lacks information boards and the date of its construction remains unknown. A document from 1967, about a bus route in the region that passed by the obelisk, allows us to say that its construction took place during or before that year. In addition, a nearby restaurant called “Restaurante e Lanchonete Obelisco” has existed since 1952, an indication that the obelisk was already built in that year.
The true geographic center of the state of São Paulo is located approximately one and a half kilometers from the obelisk, within a private property, which suggests that the monument was built in that location in a public and easily accessible area. (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

[dark is the night]
[there was night and there were shadows in the night … there was a saint who lost his head … there was a kitchen chimney that spewed white smoke in the dark of night … deep are the shadows of night … there was a man who stood in front of a glass window looking at his shadow in the night … but there was a chimney from the kitchen that spewed white smoke into the dark shadows of the night]
