CEPEL Laboratories, located at Adrianople district of Nova Iguaçu, state of Rio de Janeiro.

The Center for Electric Power Research was created in 1974 as a nonprofit society, Eletrobrás and connected to the system under the Ministry of Mines and Energy, to meet changes in the electricity sector and develop a scientific infrastructure and research in Brazil. Largest technology center in Latin America, CEPEL constitutes a center of excellence of the Brazilian electric sector.

The founding partners - Eletrobrás and its subsidiaries CHESF, ELETRONORTE ELETROSUL and FURNAS-contribute the resources for maintenance and guidance for the performance of the Research Center.

With an independent organizational structure, CEPEL is enabled for the challenges of the electricity sector where research and technological service must meet the constraints of efficiency, environmental impact, uniqueness and inequality in the country.

THE STORY OF CEPEL

The emergence of technological research activities of the electricity sector occurred so late in Brazil when compared with most developed countries.

Founded in 1879 by Thomas Edison, the Edison Electric Ligth Company aimed to raise funds for research on electric lighting. A year after he designed a light bulb, the distribution system, insulated cables, protection, etc.., Requested Edison patents on their inventions for its first nuclear power generation and distribution of electricity, located in New York.

At this time, configure the two main branches of the electricity industry - the producer of electric equipment and electricity producer - who stayed on for some time. Thus were created and developed the equipment for the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.

In Brazil until 1974, when he created the Center for Electric Energy Research (CEPEL), initiated by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and companies in the electricity sector, the survey was restricted to work carried out by institutes electrotechnical linked to universities, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Itajubá (MG), and for departments and small laboratory studies of some electric utilities. In this case, the main objective was to troubleshoot equipment and maintenance of measuring instruments.

The development of the sector in its initial phase, focused on the installation of local small businesses and some larger-scale projects promoted by foreign groups, which used imported equipment and technology developed in their countries of origin.

The search for greater technological autonomy in relation to the electricity sector only occurred from the late 1960s, coinciding with the economic recovery that followed the crisis of the development model of import substitution, in the early years of this decade.

The remarkable expansion of the installed capacity of electric power required a type of technology that in some cases, was still in experimental stage in industrialized countries. The use of energy sources located in regions more distant areas of consumption, the complexity of the operation and control of networks of power transmission - they were experiencing an increasing interconnection - and the need to transmit and distribute large blocks of energy in areas of high urban and industrial concentration caused a greater interest in both the utilities and equipment manufacturers in the search for technological alternatives themselves.

HI National Development Plan (NDP I), outlining the government's guidelines Medici for the period 1972 to 1974, continued the policy of science and technology outlined in PED (Strategic Development Program, developed by the Costa e Silva, to the period 1968 to 1970). In this respect, they had to reduce the technological dependence of the country, through the adaptation of imported technology and the creation of know-how.

The creation of CEPEL was, therefore, at the confluence of two government perspectives: on one hand, try to reduce the load exerted by the payment of royalties and patents in the balance of payments and on the other, provide companies with an electric power technology research center, in view of its growing needs in this regard. The expansion of electricity generation capacity was based on the construction of large dams. Following this policy was established Itaipu Binational, which would put more into the spotlight of a major technological challenges to be faced by the sector: the transmission of large blocks of power over long distances.

In the late 1970s and beginning of the next set in the country a framework of economic recession, which affected the energy sector and therefore the Research Center with the reduction of investments by state enterprises between 1980 and 1984, and the cost of making debt the sector accounts for a significant portion of the country's foreign debt.

The New Republic sought to give an added dimension to science and technology, creating, in March 1985, a ministry specifically designed to develop science policy ETEC nology in the country - Ministry of Science and Technology (MCT).

The new plan I drew up the ministry of Science and Technology, whose goals were to rejoin the Brazilian university discussions about the great national problems and to restore and upgrade the capacity of scientific laboratories for stimulating domestic demand for technology.

The specific scientific and technological development of the electricity sector remained guided by the guidelines of the National Electric Energy - prepared by Eletrobrás for the Ministry of Mines and Energy.

In 1971, the Ministry of Mines and Energy issued explanatory statements were intended to make it viable technological research. By creating a set of research centers and an annual application of 0.5% of capital stock of each company in technology development programs.

At an extraordinary general meeting of Eletrobrás, held in December 1971, was set up Technology Development Fund (FDT). The creation of the fund represented the realization for the electricity sector, the measures recommended by the MME and allowed the development of a research center of power.

The location of the research center was agreed in April 1972. After negotiating with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, the minister informed the Milk Days Eletrobrás that the center would be installed on the campus of the UFRJ, in Fundão Island. There has been operating the Institute of Nuclear Engineering (IEN), CNEN, and the building was being constructed at the Center for Research and Development Leopoldo A. Miguez (CENPES), Petrobras.

Eletrobras Furnas delegated the powers attaching to the project design of the research center. Furnas came into contact with the Institut de Recherche de l'Hydro-Quebec. The Canadian institution was one of the most advanced in the world of field research in electricity and had played pioneering role in the Hydro-Quebec in transmission at 750 kV.

Based on the draft IREQ, the center should have two groups of plants: the Power Systems Laboratory (LSE) and the Laboratory of Electrical Equipment (LEE). The Power Systems Laboratory would house the administrative headquarters and the laboratories of materials, and electronics workshops and groups of analytical work, as the department of systems, including computers and simulators.

The Electric Machines Laboratory (Lee) was intended to research facilities and testing equipment and materials subjected to extra-high voltage and short circuit involving the great powers. Because of this, should be installed near the substation Furnas, located at Adrianople, in the municipality of Nova Iguaçu (RJ).

On December 28, 1973, in a ceremony on Piabanha plant in Três Rios (RJ), the status of the Center for Electric Power Research was approved by the socio-founding members: Eletrobrás and its subsidiaries, Furnas Central SA Power, Hydroelectric Company of São Francisco (Chesf), North Central Electric SA of Brazil (Eletronorte) and Power Plants in Southern Brazil SA (Eletrosul).

According to the rules published in the Official Gazette of 21 January 1974, the goal of Cepel would "promote a scientific infrastructure and research aimed at developing in the country in the field of advanced technology equipment and electrical systems. "

Parallel to the construction of the headquarters and laboratories Cepel, his administration temporarily occupied the old building and housing currently occupied by COPPEAD, situated on the island of Fundão. On May 27, 1975, Cepel began operating in temporary facilities on the island of Fundão.

PHOTOS 360 DEGREES OF VIOLENCE IN THE RIVER

Click on the photos above to see 360 ​​degrees
The War of trafficking in the favela Jacarezinho Saturday, October 17, 2009.

It all happened like this:
And I were Felipe Dana talking and experienced the new Nikon D300S who had just arrived from the USA along with a new backpack Think Tank which is the most PRO pack of the international market today.
Suddenly the radio called, was a taxi driver, one among those who help one to transport us to and fro of informants and also work for us.
He called Philip the radio warning that in the neighborhood of Sampaio, close to the Hill of the Monkeys had just crashed a helicopter and exploded.
Philip looked at me and said - I'll run there, and you'll do 360-degree photos also.

My youngest son was still asleep. My wife was out for exercise and the older son was in school.
I stumbled and ran it in shorts and sandals, no time to put a shoe I had.
It was time to make some beautiful photos and documentary 360 degree immersive panoramas as I prefer to call it.
But I'm a purist, as they call it a dinosaur. Today the young generation of photo calls only 360 degrees even, so I jumped on the bandwagon too.

We ran through the streets of Rio Philip put a sticker magnetized press the outside of your car. My car is always glued to facilitate and be forgiven by the police when they see us running after a flagrant.

We arrived near the Hill of the Monkeys and the shooting was heard. Police would sneak between cars and hid behind trees and poles in hand guns, and in the middle of it all stunned people. Many cars went the opposite direction.
It was war.
We left the car on a sidewalk and decided to run through the streets behind to reach the point where the helicopter had crashed.
In all the streets screaming to go back, to be careful not to go there, in that direction.
I called Bruno Bezerra and told me what was happening and where it was.

I am 54 years old and 24 Felipe, we ran like crazy and I tried not to make ugly to accompany him to practice cycling cycling 3 x per week for 3 to 4 hours. And I just practice in front of computers CHAIR MACs.

We were there trying to shoot the helicopter wreck, which had become a lot of irons glowing, glowing red-hot in the middle of a football field a small Olympic Village, but police would not let anyone get close. The press was coming tbm, TVs had their helicopters flying around, many men circulated cameras trying to write something, and photographers from the newspapers began arriving in droves.

One complained PM me for wanting to shoot over it, my camera was 3 feet tall and I slipped over his head apologizing but saying that I had to protect him and his job showing the world what happened in Rio's favelas .
He laughed and said I was crazy, it was to get out before the Colonel sent me off with that contraption of hands.

I look at it this way and I see a TV cameramen Record speaks to the radio with a strange voice and looks up towards the helicopter Record.
Something was happening! And he was being imforma through the eyes of who was up there, seeing everything.

Suddenly he ran screaming to the car and the Record.
There was a riot, and not knowing why he ran the crowd panicked and everyone began to run aimlessly in all directions. Men, women, children and dogs.

I shouted pro Felipe pointing to the guy in the Record which came out singing in the car and tires.
A passing taxi slowed scared and stopped, Felipe did not think twice and just opened his door and jumped inside, I threw myself over him inside as well, the driver looked at us scared and I cried: - They are not weapons, are cameras, photographers are ...
Felipe then yelled even louder: - FOLLOW THAT CAR RECORD and we give you some money!

The driver was enthusiastic and took the stick in the car, a Vectra accelerating and advancing all the signs and going against the tide behind the car of Record.
Joked - You're enjoying it eh!
And the driver said: - I always wanted to do that!
And the stick sat in the car like crazy, chasing the same type 007.

Suddenly the sky turned black and began to enter the middle of a slum, was black smoke, but the stalled traffic, many people were running, cars shelving to either side, a riot in the streets of the slum.
Philip threw a hand grenade in the driver's cab and jumped.

I never ran so much in life, full of hanging equipment and by the middle of a slum in the middle moment of attack, panic and madness.
We all shouted as we passed through the midst of two houses and you could hear the gunshots still echoing away.
There fore in flames burned a giant bus. We were the first photographers to arrive. Only the Record was next.
You can see it in the first picture up when nobody else is close to the bus and not from my point of view center of the photo 360 degrees.
The bus began to blow the windows and tires and the police arrived.

I started shooting, and many photographers were coming too. The scene was crazy.
And again, everyone looked to the sky in another direction and distance was there another cloud of black smoke, the greater.
He started the madness again. But there was no taxi there, then we ride to a car and enter into the story, I had to go sit on top of Felipe and falling on top of another photographer in the car trying to convey your photos from the laptop. We ran like crazy and the car driver, a Siena Silver said only that he could not run more because the car was his and not the company. But anyway he was really going too fast.
In the backseat completely twisted thought that if I just knocked, I would be thrown or crushed against the front seats where a reporter super gentle promised that the next day would bring food and sandwiches for everyone.
This, of course, if we could survive another day hehehe.

Nos perdemos e de repente rodávamos em círculos pelas ruas da região com a buzina disparando para que todos saissem da frente, o que incluia até carroças puxadas por cavalos pangarés. Num certo momento avistamos o carro do G1 que também estava perdido rodando a procura do caminho para chegar no novo foco de fumaça.

Foi aí que nosso motorista teve um palpite e disse: vou por ali, e pegou uma rua e chegamos exatamente em frente aonde havia este outro fogo.
Era na favela do Jacarezinho, bem em frente a quadra da escola de samba.

A cena era impressionante, a fumaça era muita, o ar estava pesado eo calor era grande. Eu pensava nas fotos 360 graus que faria o tempo todo.
Muitos fotógrafos e carros começaram a chegar e todos corriam para fotografar.

Minha esposa me ligou dizendo que ela e meu filho caçula acabavam de me ver pela TV record, na tela; eu correndo na frente dos ônibus pegando fogo.
Eu lhe disse que estava tudo bem e que faria ótimas fotos 360 graus.

Depois fui saber que o G1 também gravara em vídeo e eu apareço bem na frente da camera deles fotografando em 360 graus, assim como de repente na hora de uma das explosões aparece o Felipe Dana correndo para fotografar por outro lado.
E ele me gritava: – Ayrton a porra da bateria do macbook acabou, está quase zerada eu preciso transmitir minhas fotos !!!!

Não havia luz na redondeza, descobrimos que atrás da fumaça do ônibus, haviam mais 2 outros ônibus também ardendo em chamas !!!
Aos poucos fomos percebendo que também havia um carro que estava encostado contra a parede do outro lado da rua e queimava. Acima do fogo de um ônibus havia um transformador de luz no poste e estava prestes a explodir por causa do calor. Foi quando os fios derreteram e começaram a cair , eu corri e falava ao telefone com o Bruno Bezerra, o outro fotógrafo associado que tuitava tudo que acontecia, me mantendo informado do que via na TV e na net, e eu contava para ele tudo que estávamos passando e como iam as fotos 360 graus que eu estava clicando sem parar.
Eu deixei o celular cair ao correr para fugir dos fios elétricos pegando fogo.

Voltei em seguida e peguei o celular e consegui falar com o Clício Barroso , o Presidente da Fototech, a melhor Associação de fotógrafos do Brasil , da qual nós somos associados também.
Mas a ligação caiu no meio e nem sei se ele me ouvia, mas eu dizia, ou melhor, gritava, que estávamos bem, apesar dos barulhos de sirene, fogo e explosões que ele ouvia ao fundo.

Os bombeiros chegaram e começaram a jogar água para apagar o fogo. Nesse momento consguimos ver que o Caveirão já estava do outro lado do incêndio aonde moradores estavam se juntando para ver a cena do caos.

Com a água, começou a fuligem, e tentar se aproximar do fogo para fotos era um exercício de respirar mal.

Pouco a pouco o fogo foi apagando eo Felipe me disse: – Ayrton eu preciso sair daqui para enviar as fotos.
Corremos pelo meio da galera e havia uma van que ia passando, sinalizamos pedindo para pegar uma carona.
O motorista nos olhou com aquela cara de quem nem estava ouvindo nada pois dentro da van o som comia solto a todo volume tocando um funk insuportável.

Pedimos a ele para nos levar de volta ao Morro dos Macacos aonde havíamos deixado nosso carro no meio da rua. O cara não queria, então oferecemos “um galo” e acenamos com uma nota de cinquentinha, implorando que nos tirasse dali. O Felipe disse que precisava chegar rápido até lá, por causa das fotos.

The guy smiled, further increased the funk until I almost go deaf and went screeching like crazy and you're done, we move towards not know where, but for streets, contours over the sidewalks, intersections, against the tide, signs red, with a fucking insane and crazy funk that left me deaf. Detail, by the time he took off with the van, the back door was not closed right Felipe and almost falls out or in my lap, or remember.
I just thought the photos would go 360 degrees away.

The rest was normal, we daonde the car near the helicopter had fallen, many police were still there, and many even went to Vila Isabel, there in the Chopp Planet, to use the electrical outlet, and then transmit the photos to Felipe The Associated Press.

After that, I took Felipe back to the conflict zone, and returned to the south with the car, leaving him there.

His wife was wanting to hear from him and came to my home. We came together, and I told him he was fine.
My kids were waiting for me for lunch ... and life goes on forever with photos 360 degrees
:-)

Abcs

I ride 360 ​​degrees more photos!
I hope you enjoy.
:-)

The war on traffics Jacarezinho slum on October 17th

And that's how it Happened:
Felipe Dana and I Were Trying talking and discussing the new Nikon D300S That just HAD Arrived from the U.S. with the newest Think Thank backpack, one of the most PRO backpacks on the market nowadays.
Suddenly a taxi driver called walk on the talkie, he's one of the guys he read help us out here and taking us there and is Also some kind of informant.

Ha called Felipe on the cellradio saying That a helicopter just HAD Been knocked down and exploded in Sampaio's neighborhood.
Felipe Looked at me and said: I'm on my way there and if you come with me Can you take 360 ​​pictures as well.

My youngest son was still asleep. My wife HAD left early to exercise and my oldest son was in school.

I Jumped on and left on my shorts and sandals, I did not even have the time to put on shoes.
It was the time to take some pretty photos and document 360, or an immersion panorama like I prefer to call Them.
Can I am what you call a dinosaur. The young people only call 360 photos Them I Decided to do the same.
We were running throughout Rio's streets. Felipe put some sort of sticker on his windshield saying That he was from the press. I always have one on my car, just in case if we needed to be "forgiven" by the cops who come to Investigate.

We got closer to Apes' We Could Already slum and hear the guns shooting. Between Cops Were hiding behind cars and light posts and trees with guns. And in the middle Were there a lot of people running around lost in the middle of chaos, a lot of cars Were going the wrong way too.

It was the WAR.
We left the car on the sidewalk and Decided to run on the streets to get a better view of the falling helicopter.
Were people screaming for us to come back, to be careful, not to go on that direction.
I called Bruno Bezerra on the cellphone and hin Told what was going on and where I was.
I am 54 years old and 24 Felipe, We Were running like crazy and I was Trying not to disappoint hin, Whom bikes three times a week for 3 to 4 hours straight. As for me I only sit in front of the computer in front of my Mac computers.

We were there Trying to take pictures of the wrecked helicopter. It was flamed Transformed into wrecks, burning in flames in the middle of the soccer field from a small Olimpic Ville. But the cops did not want to let anyone to get close to it.

The press was starting to Arrive too. Their TV stations Already HAD helicopters flying over the scene, a lot of camera men trying to get some images and newspapers Were photographers arriving in large groups.

The cop was complaining That I Was Trying to take pictures Almost on top of hin. My camera was 3 meters high and I was trying to talk him over saying that I was showing to the world what really happened at Rio's slums and I was somehow protecting his job.

He started laughing saying that I was crazy and that I had better get out of there before the Sheriff told me to do it so.
That's when I saw a cameraman from Record TV Station talking on the radio with a weird voice and looking up to their helicopter.

Something was going on!!! He was being informed from the person who was up there looking up at everything.
Suddenly he started running and screaming in direction to his car

It was crazy and without knowing why he was running through the crowd that was in panic and was running all over the place. Men, women, children and dogs.
I yelled at Felipe pointing the Record's guy who had got into his car and left speeding.

A cab that was passing by stopped scared and Felipe didn't think twice. He opened the door and jumped and I jumped on top of him. And the driver looked at us scared and I told him that we were holding cameras not guns and that we were photographers.
After that Felipe yelled to the driver: Follow that Record's car and we will give you some money!
The driver got excited and started speeding the car, crossing all the red lights, going the wrong way following the car.

We started joking telling him that he was actually enjoying all that.
When he said that he always wanted to do that.
He was running like crazy it was like 007 on action.
Suddenly the sky got darker and we got in the middle of a slum. There was a black smoke all over. There was traffic, a lot of people running, cars crashing, it was a chaos in the middle of the slum alleys.

Felipe gave the driver the money and we jumped out of the cab.
I had never in my life ran so much full of equipment and inside of a slum in the middle of the craziness and panic

Everyone was yelling while we were going through the houses and we could hear the shot guns still.

In front of us a bus was in flames. We were the first photographers to get there with Record's cameramen.
You can see that on the 1st picture above when no one else is close to the bus anymore and nor on my point of view.
The bus windows and tires started to explode and the cops arrived.
I started shooting pictures and some other photographers started to arrive. It was a chaos.

And again everyone was looking at the sky and We Could see another dark smoky cloud far this time it was bigger.
And the craziness started again. There was not a cab there at this time so we Asked for a ride on this press' car. We got in and i had to sit on Philip's lap, falling over this other photographer who was Trying to put the pictures from his camera on his laptop.
The driver was running like a crazy and said the only reason That He Was not going faster was the Fact That The Car Was not his. But he was still going pretty fast.

On the back seat the only thing I Could think about was if we crashed ... I was going to be thrown against the front seats where the reporter was really nice the next day promising That we was going to bring sandwiches and food for everyone.
That of course IF we Survived one more day. We got lost and We Were Suddenly going in circles buzzing around the streets for everyone to get out. That included some carriages pulled by horses. At a Certain time we saw the G1's (another press) That car was lost too Trying to find the smoke, When the driver Decided to take a shortcut and we got exactly where this other fire was going on.
It was at the Jacarezinho slum, right in front of this samba's rehearsal spot. The scene was Impressing. There was a lot of smoke, the air was heavy and it was extremely hot and stuffy and I Could only think about the 360 ​​pictures I was going to shot. A lot of photographers and started to Arrive Were running to take pictures. My wife called and said That her and my youngest son just HAD seen me on TV, while I was running if front of the bus on fire.
Told her I was fine and everything That I was going to take amazing 360 shots. After I Heard That G1 HAD Also recorded a video and I was right in front of Their camera taking 360 shots, explosion Happened When The Other So They show Felipe Dana running to take pictures from another angle. He was screaming: Ayrton, the Mac's battery is freaking Almost done and I have to get my pictures in it.
There was in power around. And We Found Out That behind the smoke from the flaming bus Were there two more buses on fire too!

Suddenly Realized That We Also there was a car on the other side of the street That was on fire as well.

Above the flaming bus there was a power line That Was about to explode because of the heat.

That was When the wires started to melt and started falling down. I started running and was on the phone with Bruno Bezerra, the other photographer I Knew That Was on twitter at the Same Time checking what was going on and keeping me informed about what he was watching on TV and on the web. I was telling HIM what was going on and how the 360 ​​pics Were Coming in October

Felt my cell phone off while I was running from the falling electric wires. I Went back and got my phone and called Clício Barroso. Fototech's (The best photographer in Brazil's association) president.
The phone called was interrupted in the middle and I have no idea if he Could hear me speaking or yelling, because We Were in the middle of ambulances, fire and explosions.
Arrived and the firemen started hosing water to get rid of the fire. At this moment We Could See That the Caveirão (special car used by the special forces of Rio's police department) was Already on the other side of the fire Were people who live on the slum Were arriving to check the chaos.

With the smoke and the water trying to get close to the fire was making Almost impossible to breath.

Slowly the fire was extinguished and Felipe Told Me: Ayrton I have to get out of here to get this sent pictures.

We started running in the middle of the crowd and saw this van passing through and we Asked for a ride.
The driver Gave us That weird look and could not hear anything because of the terrible funk he was listening to on the radio.
We Asked Him to take us back to Monkey's slum Were We had left the car in the middle of the streets. He did not want to so we Offered hin hin Showed some money and a $ 50 bill's begging Him to get us out of there.

That Philip said he needed to get there fast because of the pictures.

The driver Smiled, Turned the volume even louder, to the point That I was getting deaf, and he left like a crazy, the burning tires and going in the direction of where I do not even know ... On sidewalks, wrong Ways, going through red lights and That funk was driving me crazy.

When he started the van was still the back door opened and Philip Almost felt off. I can not even remember the details. The only thing I Could think about Were the 360 ​​photos I was going to get out of my camera.

2 Comments | This entry was posted on Oct 14 2009

Little Planet, fotografado pelo fotógrafo AYRTON, durante competição de Wii, no Botafogo Praia Shopping. Essa imagem foi a base para o desenvolvimento do Little Planet no Mundo, já que o desenvolvedor e criador do software que gera este formato interativo, chamado de Little Planet, é o austríaco Klaus que usou esta foto de 360 graus do Ayrton como o primeiro exemplo da nova técnica.

Click na foto acima para ver em 360 graus com efeito Little Planet esta imagem esférica.
Esta foto de 360 graus, feita pelo fotógrafo AYRTON, conhecido no meio como AYRTON360, foi produzida durante uma competição de Wii, no Botafogo Praia Shopping em 2008. Esta foi na verdade a primeira foto 360 do Mundo publicada utilizando a técnica do Little Planet interativo, e foi essa imagem que serviu de base para o desenvolvimento do Little Planet Interativo.
O desenvolvedor e criador do software que gera este formato interativo, chamado de Little Planet, é o austríaco Klaus, e que entrou em contato com o AYRTON, e pediu autorização de uso da imagem para criar uma nova ferramenta se baseando nesta foto 360 graus, e então gerar o primeiro exemplo da nova técnica, através da projeção planetária.
Ao carregar a imagem, aproveite para brincar um pouco com o mouse sobre a foto 360, arrastando para os lados, para cima e para baixo. E ainda experimente também, usar o botão direito para observar os comandos que alteram a projeção fotográfica, permitindo visualizar diversos efeitos especiais.
Ahhhh e não deixem de escolher a opção FULLSCREEN que aparece ao se usar o botão direito do mouse sobre a imagem.
A Imersão é maior e bem mais legal para curtir a experiência virtual em 360 graus. Experimente !

Em breve muito mais fotos 360 estarão aqui. São imagens que foram feitas tem bastante tempo, mas nunca houve a chance de postar no site.
Espero que gostem e repassem, ou se preferirem, basta clicar num dos botõeszinhos para postar no seu Site Social preferido.

360 abraços !

Click na foto 360 graus acima e veja com som ambiente a Comemoração de milhares de Brasileiros, nas areias da Praia de Copacabana quando é anunciada a vitória do Rio de Janeiro, para sediar as Olmpíadas de 2016.

O espírito de justiça brilhou nas vozes de todos ali presentes que ansiosamente aguardavam pela chance de hospedar a primeira Olimpíada a acontecer na América Latina.

Eu me emocionei e confesso que lágrimas me vieram aos olhos no momento do resultado. Fiquei feliz por saber que daqui a alguns anos estaremos mostrando ao Mundo que o Rio é a Cidade Maravilhosa e estaremos no centro da atençnao e das mídias internacionais, o que com certeza impulsionará muitos negócios no nosso País e na minha Cidade que tanto amo.

My kids are much older and certainly will enjoy the sporting events too.
Eu espero poder fazer muitas novas fotos 360 graus assim como fiz durante o PAN RIO2007 e que podem ser vistas aqui no site também.

Este é um docuemnto em 360 graus da emoção que tomou a todos neste dia. Espero que gostem e vejam outras fotos 360 graus que estão no blog.

360 abraços a todos e obrigado pelos comentários.
