he Brazilian National Day is the
seventh of September. In the two
days I was in Rio de Janeiro, I
remember being woken up by a huge
amount of sound and the overwhelming
smell of gasoline. It was only when I got out
of the hotel that I realized there were tanks
in the streets. I grabbed my camera and
went all around the streets that day.
These pictures were taken in the Centro
in Rio de Janeiro.
As are national days around the world,
people fill the streets for Brazil’s celebration.
But my attention was diverted to this group
of religious people and this man with his
weapon so close to children playing.
One of the most amazing things in Rio de Janeiro is the sunset. The sunset at Ipanema is breathtaking
just as the sun drops behind the Morro Dois Irmãos and the Vidigal Favela starts to appear as small spots
of lights. Vidigal has the best view over the city because of the pacification of the Favela in 2011, where
many guest rooms and hotels have been growing.
The other spectacular thing about the sunset in Rio is that even Cariocas (people from Rio) will be
locked, looking at the sea, never growing tired of its beauty. It is a complete spectacle happening right in
front of their eyes.
