The second and last installment of photographs from our (Alastair and Helen
Firkin, Neela and myself, shepherded around by Armando Bruck) walkabout in
Sao Paulo.

Luz Station was built by the British over a century ago, and is now used
for the local commuter trains:

Theatro Municipal is modeled on the famous Palais Garnier in Paris. There
is a guided tour available, but unfortunately we could not see the concert
hall proper as there was a rehearsal going on:

The Pinacoteca do Estado de S?o Paulo is the oldest museum in the city,
dedicated to Brazilian Art. The open brick interior is especially pleasing:

We were allowed into a closed bank building, where this reflection
presented itself:

We also went high up on to a rooftop
