Pictures from downtown Rio de Janeiro... The memory of slavery is very present in today´s Brazil. It was the first time I saw Africans depicted in neoclassical statues, in a clear hommage to their role in the formation of Brazilian culture. Near Ipanema, I saw that group of Chinese para-athletes quite busy with their bikes.

the huge doors..very pretty
The statue re: slavery is so moving. It's a beautiful sculpture - very emotional.
I have to confess I had no ideia Rio could be so architechtonically beautiful! I always thought Brazil was a natural beauty, but now I see it has more!
The slavery statue is for me the best shot in the group! I love the guy's face!
Cool blog, interesting information... Keep it UP »
