Many people call Rio de Janeiro one of the world’s most violent cities. Why? You can see everything yourself, because the gangsters’ paradise has been documented by photographer Joao de Carvalho from Portugal. He took many pictures of local drug traffickers and gangs who are often the bosses of communities where Brazilian state does not exist. At the age of 18 these guys provide neighbors with many basic needs, including food and medicines.
This photo of Esplanadas dos Ministerios highway in Brasilia was taken less than an hour before the match between Brazil and Korea DPR on June 15.
I thought that this was the worst road in the world. I was wrong, here’s a Brazilian road called Transamazônica or The Trans-Amazonian Highway.
This information and some pictures were sent us by our visitor KallAngo. Thank you KallAngo for sharing with us.
Here’s some history of it.
Joao and Rosemere Fernandes de Andrade are dark-skinned Afro-Brazilians, however, three of their five children are albinos!
Scientists are quite stunned because both parents are black and 2 of their children are black too. They say it’s a really rare case.
Nature can be so tricky!
That’s the crazy project of Gabriel (20) and Tiago (27) Primo, 2 brothers living in Rio de Janeiro - they are sleeping, working, eating, well… living on the side of a building 33 feet up in the air.
And that’s not just for a day, they’ve been doing that since the end of May and they plan to continue this weird adventure until August 20.
In fact, it’s a part of an art exhibit in Rio’s old center, and what an exhibition! You don’t see that everyday, so if you’re in Rio this summer, don’t forget to go and see this colourful living wall.
Late last month, some areas of Brazil started remotely to resemble Venice.
As a result of floods, about 300 thousand people were left homeless. Here's the great power of nature :((
This is my favorite martial art of all. It’s very physical, rhythmic and simply beautiful.
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that makes a ritual of movements from martial arts, games, and dance. It was brought to Brazil from Angola some time after the 16th century.
I made a big selection of pictures that I liked the best. More of them you’ll see after the jump.
The press photographer Giuseppe Bizzarri made a set of pictures of uncomfortable conditions in Brazilian jails.
Yep, it’s really tough for prisoners in there.
