rio carnaval 2008 . saudades

Saudade is a brazilian (ops, Kaden is right, Portuguese. We brazilian speak portuguese :))..) word that means miss something or somebody. Saudades of my Rio de Janeiro and those 4 days of party and fun. This gallery is a tribute to my hometown Rio de Janeiro and its beautiful carnaval. From saturday to tuesday the whole country stops to enjoy it.

Beautiful gallery. Your choice for sepia works really refreshing! V.

Taking one of the most colored event to make it sepia as well as the composition demonstrated that you definitively wanted another "angle". Interresting!
