Picture of the Week: Rio de Janeiro
"Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
Floating in the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams, and a window
looking on the mountains and the sea.
How lovely! this is where i want to be.
Here, with you so close to me, untill the final flicker of lifes ember.
I who was lost and lonely, believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you
The meaning of existence oh, my love. "
-Tom Jobim "Corcovado"
July 2006 - Standing behind Corcovado. Rio de Janiero, Brazil
I never understood how imposing this 100 foot soapstone statue really is until I got to Brazil. You look up and you see Jesus. No matter where you go in the city. No matter where you go.
