Variety and Veneer
Manaus, Brazil ~ April 14, 2007
In and around the central market can be seen a variety of paving styles and patterns, mainly in black and white. The yellow-bordered truck ramp blends right in, especially as the rain created a veneer of mud like an artist's wash over everything.
Those are broken tiles that are used up to create a mosaic effect I suppose. By the way did you make that trip? Was it the fork or the knife that evolved from the spoon?

This was inspired by the portuguese cobblestone work (limestone and basalt). There are wonderful patterns here, mainly on squares and old avenues.
