200. Carnival group
MARCH 2008: Carnival group
It was just over a month since the carnival was held in Rio de Janeiro. The biggest party on Earth, as boasted by the Carioca’s (residents of Rio), had attracted many carnival revelers, and tourists from home and abroad. You would think that it would be quieter afterwards in the city, at least for some months. On the contrary. As seen in the picture, I witnessed a small show of a so-called bloco de carnaval, a carnival group. Back then it was Easter, this bloco used this theme in their call for attention to more tolerance and less violence and prejudice. The motley crew drew a lot of attention, especially from curious tourists, and I was one of them.

166. Glass rainbow
OCTOBER 2008: Glass rainbow
The District of Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro is especially known for its beautiful beaches. Many Brazilian and foreign tourists cherish fond memories of the wide beaches, colorful sunsets and lively night life. On Sundays, Ipanema host another tourist attraction: the Feira Hippie de Ipanema, which is held in the square next to the metro station: Praça General Osório. This open-air market – according to the site, the largest in the world regarding arts and crafts – started in 1968, when hippies and backpackers gathered to sell their creations, spread on large sheets. Nowadays, the merchandise is found in numerous stalls, in a huge variety of art and decorative objects. Including this interesting glassware, with the colors of the rainbow.

140. Ipanema sunset
OCTOBER 2007: Ipanema sunset
Arpoador Beach is famous for the colorful sunsets. The sunset is generally witnessed by dozens of people who occupy the nearby rock and may applaud and cheer at the end of the sunset show. This picture was made with the use of flash. As a result, the colors red and purple dominate. At that moment, the sun just had set behind the hilltops of the Dois Irmãos (‘Two Brothers’), making these peaks dark silhouettes against a pinkish red sky. The red glow made the color of seawater purple, where as the foam heads are grayish blue and dark blue. As if it were a painting.

103. Ipanema Beach
OCTOBER 2007: Ipanema Beach
Almost everyone knows Rio de Janeiro’s two most famous beaches: Copacabana and Ipanema. Both enchanted beaches have been sung by renowned artists, painted by dozens of painters, and photographed by millions of tourists. I belonged to the latter group, when I returned to Ipanema Beach once again. Sunset at Ipanema Beach is really breathtaking, and inviting for taking many colorful images. This picture was taken on a sunny day in October, when it is spring in Brazil. The high tide had left some shallow pools on the beach that reflected the twin mountain peaks of the Dois Irmãos (‘Two Brothers’) at such a colorful sunset. In 2007, the Dois Irmãos were in the news, because of the slums expanding on their slopes; it was feared that this postcard image will become a thing of the past…

100. Ipanema surfers
DECEMBER 2006: Ipanema surfers
When speaking of Ipanema Beach … The sunset at this world famous beach is also very popular. Even though I already have seen more than ten sunsets at Ipanema Beach, I still enjoy every sunset as if it were the first of my life. This sunset is a game of warm colors which create an enchanted spectacle. Many tourists will stay until the end of the sunset, clap their hands as a gratitude for another bright day, and then return home. However… Not everyone will wait with much patience, as these two surfers show. They prefer to keep on practicing, keep on surfing until they meet complete darkness. Real diehards.

095. Ipanema Beach
DECEMBER 2006: Ipanema Beach
We had returned to Rio de Janeiro, to Ipanema Beach, one of the most popular beaches on the planet. Many tourists, who visit Rio, arrive here to lie down on the beach all day and have them deeply tanned. Especially during Carnival, the beaches in Rio ware one giant, colorful patchwork of sunbathers on their towels or cangas. But late in the afternoon of a normal December day, even Ipanema beach was almost deserted. There was only one couple, enjoying the last sun rays of another bright, sunny day. They didn’t seem to be worried about the warship that is passing close to the shoreline, apparently on the way to the naval port in Rio.

Japanese Bridge at Botanical Garden, RIO DE JANEIRO (RJ)
Not far from Ipanema Beach, along the Lake of Rodrigo Freitas, is the Jardim Botânico, the Botanical Garden. A must-see in Rio. The garden has the size of 137 hectares, of which 54 hectares is cultivated. More than tree thousand cataloged plant species are located there.
The garden was created by the Portuguese king Dom João VI, not long after his arrival in Brazil in 1808. He and his family had to leave Portugal when Napoleon was about to invade his country. Brazil was transformed from a colony to one of the kingdoms of the Portuguese empire. At the time of the creation, the garden was called ‘Horto Real’, the Royal Garden.
Striking and impressive are the two columns of majestic imperial palm trees, that have become the symbol of the garden. The Botanical Garden is widely known for the collections of orchids, bromelias, cacti, roses. One of the most visited locations is the Japanese Garden, created in 1935. In 1995, the garden was renovated and inaugurated by a daughter of the Japanese emperor. The garden contains cherry trees, bonsai trees, bamboo, and a pond with koi fish.
The original picture was taken in March 2008.

Ipanema Beach, RIO DE JANEIRO (RJ)
Together with Copacabana Beach, Ipanema Beach is surely one of the most popular beaches in Rio de Janeiro. Ipanema Beach is flanked by Arpoador Beach (where is a small rock in the sea, where one may enjoy an interesting view of Ipanema Beach and its flanking beaches), and by Leblon Beach. The two hilltops are called Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers); behind them is the location of the famous Rocinha Favela. Further behind, the Barra da Tijuca District is located, with more beaches and the emerging Olympic Village.
