Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Graffiti near Copacabana




The moustached fish tries to swallow the passerby.

Sunrise in Rio de Janeiro




From Gustavo's Apartment in Tijuca
You can see the favela on the hill light up at night.




Looking south toward Corcovado Peak with Christ the Redeemer on top.




The poorest people in Brazil with the richest people in Brazil right behind them.
This is how Rio and most of Brazil is.




I wonder what my building inspector would say about this place.




Pigs in the Favela




It says "Sinaf Insurance. For those who love to read while they drive."




Artwork at the Hippy Fair (Feira Hype) near Ipanema

You may ask; What is this?
These are simply supports used to keep the rocks above
from crumbling down on the many apartments below.
