Created by Jorge Selarón, a chilean-born artist, the Escadaria Selarón is probably one of my favourite sites in Rio de Janeiro. Located near Arcos da Lapa, the tiles on the stairs come from all around the world from fans that want theirs included on this beautiful mosaic. And since I like these stairs a lot, I'm including more than just 1 photo this week. Enjoy!

| This is the view looking down, you wouldn't expect the work of art unless you turn around. |

| What meets you at the very top of the stairs. |

| A tile from a Quebecer, I'm positive. |

| Can you spot the maple leaf? |

| These cute children decided that they wanted their picture taken also, I couldn't say no. The stairs are filled with a lot of people at night time, very lively. |
Wow those pictures are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
