The belltower, and behind it the Cathedral of Brasilia, designed by the legendary architect Oscar Niemeyer. Extraordinary boldness and clarity of design, and quite revolutionary. This entire purpose designed Brasilian capital of the 60’s was the work of Niemeyer , and is is a most inspirational city to explore.

Olinda is as all historic Portuguese city in Pernambuco, Brasil. Nowadays it is an artists’ haven and has a giant annual Carneval. A Carneval figure sits atop this house, which is cheerfully painted. It is about 15 km from Recife, and is a feast for the eyes and spirit. We spent a week there, and I adored it. Very un touristed.
