Photographer Massimo Vitali went on a photographic journey to Brazil. Vitali captured the beauty and vitality of Brazil in his photographs. (ABOVE) Lençóis Maranhenses national park is a 600-square-mile sea of white sand dunes. The area gets roughly 60 inches of rain per year. During the rain season lagoons form between the dunes. How gorgeous is the crystal blue water against the white sand dunes? (BELOW 1) A short drive from Rio de Janeiro is Niterói. The area features several modern style homes designed by renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. I would love to own any one of those homes. What an amazing view! (BELOW 2) The Ceagesp market is a wonderful place to interact with the locals and shop for fresh food. The market is hugely popular with 13 locations and over 2 billion dollars in yearly sales! Pretty cool! (BELOW 3) The Via Madelena neighborhood has a thriving graffiti and street art scene. Pieces like this make a big statement. (BELOW 4) Piscinão de Ramos is an artificial beach and swimming pool in Rio de Janeiro. Definitely a place to visit. Vitali really captured the energy of the area. What do you think of Vitali's work?
