Ipanema from Arpoador in Winter

Lovely warm sunny day today with everyone out on the beach as if it was the height of summer.

On the walk along we came across a demonstration in support of the arrested (electronic ankle bracelet) former President Bolsonaro, about to go to trial for instigating a coup. His son spoke from the bridge platform you see, and the atmosphere was febrile, quite amazing given the largely middle class demonstrators. Shut your eyes and this is what the Nuremberg rallies must have felt like. See extras.
