Centro Cultural de Belém

CCB main patio. Visitors allways enjoy playing with the underground water sprays as they start working when you walk on them.

I love that water feature and the art piece. I bet the water feature is very popular with families.

Don't tell my little grandsons about that!
That's a classy wine bottle tree. Nice kids too.

Your first photo is just amazing. And I wonder how many wine bottles it took to built that fabulous sculpture?

An artist's life can be tough. Imagine the effort emptying all those bottles! ;) I wonder how many they are.

Well snapped!

You shot these perfectly. I'd like to help add to that wine bottle sculpture!
