Wired Opera House, Brazil

This card arrived very recently as a surprise from Nataša, whose whereabouts are a bit difficult (lets say, impossible) to follow, but she does sometimes give us the chance to at least know on which continent she is by surprising our mailboxes :)

At first glance I never would have guessed that this is an Opera House..neither at second or third..looks really surreal in such a surrounding! It looks more like some botanical garden or so, but NOT, definitely NOT an Opera House!
It is situated in the middle of an urban green park, Parque das Pedreiras and was built in 1992 on the site of a former rock quarry. It got its name because it was built out of steel tubes. The cool architect behind this project is Domingos Bongestabs.

no stamp...spares me the trouble to be searching for it :D

hvala ti puno Nato!! :*

Viaduto Carvalho, Brazil

my last card for today is a train card from Brazil...

I think this is one of the most beautiful train cards Ive seen from Brazil and the railroad itself counts as one of the State's most beautiful attractions (this is in the state of Paraná) The card shows the Carvalho Viaduct. It received this name in honor of the President of the Province of Paraná at the time, Carlos de Carvalho and is over 100 metres high. Looks rather scary too...but that's where the adrenaline lies :)

a short video about it when the train is taking this particular turn




 well, that would be all for now...short is better than nothing :) Hope to see you soon! Im off to deal with my cold and sore throat...
