Venetian Mask Parade on São Paulo Waterfront Bridge
Bright noon sunlight flattens the shadows across a crowded stone bridge spanning a wide canal in São Paulo. Participants wear elaborate Venetian-style masks and colorful costumes, standing shoulder to shoulder as they face the water. The harsh daylight bleaches the whites of the feathers and intensifies the gold leaf on the porcelain faces. Behind the crowd, the bridge railing separates the throng from the choppy, sun-drenched canal below. People gesture with gloved hands while others adjust heavy velvet capes that hang stiffly in the dry air. The concrete abutments of the bridge show weathering and graffiti, at the base of the festive masks in the gritty urban reality of Brazil. A reflection of a red mask shimmers briefly on the wet stone step near the water's edge.
