The Yellow Cortez strikes again

Taken down and made into an electricity post, the Yellow Cortez (Ipê Amarelo, in Brazil) did not surrender. With an outstanding reaction, it has rebelled against its wrongful conviction, grew its roots and came back to reign absolute, sharing joy and beauty with its strong identity.

It has insisted and demanded its space to show the beauty of its blossoms and the generous shadow of its branches, in a magnificent demonstration of energy and will to live.

Reconsidering his act, man has decided to transfer the electric wiring to a concrete post positioned just beside it. Now the Cortez reigns free of wires.

This Cortez is a public attraction in Porto Velho, capital of Rondônia, a state in Brazil.

This is an example of the sweet privilege of the people in that neighborhood, as the picture taken by the amateur photographer, Leandro Barcellos, who was born in the South of Brazil, but lives in that area.
