It was difficult to get a photo of this building from so close, so the only way to shoot was UP.
The cariocas (natives of Rio) are proud to show off their very modern cathedral in the heart of the city.

justsusan > Ships in the harbor
Mom told us a story about how she was instructed to stay inside when warships were in the harbor. However, being the curious sort, she climbed up the hill behind their house to get a better look. She wore a white dress which turned out to be visible from the ship (with a telescope, I presume).  They couldn't tell it was a little girl-- they assumed it was somebody spying on them. Imagine Pearl's surprise and fear when a cannonball exploded on the hill not far from her. She was not hurt, but received a severe scolding when she returned home.

(I don't know what country the warships were from.)
