On a perfect sunny day, the Atlantic Blvd. teems with people in scanty clothes walking, jogging, bicycling or skating aiming to get some good tan. Cariocas (locals of Rio) and tourists alike come in all sizes and shapes - and everyone seems comfortable in one's skin and beach wears (however revealing these may be). Rio is liberating! Took these photos discreetly while following a family walk along the boulevard. I don''t think they noticed me at all.
