The illusion of two hands together reaching up to the sky creates the Metropolitan Cathedral of Brasilia
The founder, President JK
The capital of Brazil is well-known for its unique architecture, and the use of other media, like the water, to create architectural and sculptural illusions. Here is a bit of the city, showing that, even with the lack of focus on the main feature, the city constructions and its urban art remain unique, powerful and fabulous!

Superb! A standout entry this week. I like the first one the best, with blurry images of the people around.

Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by and share your impressions… I’m glad you enjoyed the photos… It’s the “city of my heart”, so, I’m totally bias… The Cathedral is gorgeous, here’s another post about it: http://3rdculturechildren.com/2012/04/22/the-singular-city-of-brasilia/

You’re welcome.
And it’s totally okay being bias. Your place is something to be proud of.
