Metro in Copenhagen

Recently a new part of the Copenhagen metro opened.

This is the Frederiksberg station.

A view of tomorrow....

There is a nice terrace on the top of the Museum of Art in Rio where you have a breathtaking view of the Guanabara Bay and the Museum of Tomorrow.  Look at the (moving) "wings", look at all the ships and the bridge.



All the while planes arrive at the Santos Dumont aiport.



A closer look on the land shows activities everywhere. The building in front of us is empty. What an impressive sight....!! I suppose it will be renovated. Must be a good investment. I heard that the company of Trump is investing here somewhere...

Further into the street people are working on an old white house. Rio still has a lot of beautiful old houses that need to be renovated. Of course there is the big problem of finding enough money. And here there is another big question ...  Who can afford to live here tomorrow! Where is the solution for affordable housing in livable area's.

Here the job is almost finished. And it is going to be fine!!

Everywhere in the city there is a lot of activity because the Olympics are coming. Public transport!! How to manage this in this crowded old city with many narrow streets. It has to be ready before the Games. Time is running.... But the city has to win this Marathon.

And both work hard!

Around the corner from "Tomorrow" there is a part of the Rio of the past.

What will be the fate of these  houses on this first class location with a view of  "Tomorrow"? 

When it rains in São Paulo…

                                                                             …….just take the metro.

Did you think this is a metro station? Look at the space. 

I am amazed by the space under ground in São Paulo. Above the ground São Paulo is often congested, but just a bit down…..

The metro in São Paulo is really nice to look at as “a space”. It is also a place of art and culture. 

Consolação metro station

These panels in Consolação metro station are by Tomie Othake. On the Internet there is even a  map to show where you can find works of art in the metro of São Paulo.

Republica  metro station

The hart of São Paulo is the Praçá de Sé with the main cathedral. There is also the central metro station. It is where the red line crosses the blue.

Piano waiting for action

Sé main station

A lot of art in the Sé station. Pity I Couldn't  find the name of the artist that made the mural. 

Exhibition of different artists at Sé

The statue is by Alfredo Ceschiatti ( some English text ) a very famous Brazilian sculpturer.

You almost forget that there is a train to catch .......

When we were there, we were in a hurry and just saw a few things. But I think it is worth to go to São Paulo, wait for the rain (it will come!) and go down into the metro to enjoy the many things of beauty…..

... or just for some peace and quiet.
