Sambódromo

I meander my way through the crowds, showing my wristband and am ushered into a designated viewpoint, and am immediately drawn to the kaleidoscope of colours that illuminates the entire stadium. My eyes dart from left to right, not knowing where to look or where to point my camera, for everything is equally worth your attention. From every sequin and button and feather on a costume, to the paraders waving their arms and shaking their hips to samba music, to the gigantic meticulously crafted and decorated trucks.
