"Andreaeiko" was at the 10th Postcrossing Meeting in São Paulo. She choose this great postcard for me. It shows the Christmas Tree at Rodrigo de Freitas Lake, in Rio de Janeiro.
"Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, mostly known as "Lagoa", is a lagoon and district in the Lagoa, Zona Sul (South Zone) of Rio de Janeiro. The lagoon is connected to the Atlantic, allowing sea water to enter, by a canal which is bordered by the park locally known as Jardim de Alá.
The lagoon
is surrounded by the districts of Ipanema, Leblon, Gávea, Jardim Botânico,
Copacabana, Botafogo, and Humaitá. It attracts quite a number of visitors
during the Christmas holidays due to its famous and gigantic Christmas Tree,
which is built over a floating platform that moves around the lagoon. The Eva
Klabin Foundation is located on the banks of the lagoon. The lagoon will host
canoe sprint and rowing events for the 2016 Summer Olympics, and rowing events
for the 2016 Summer Paralympics." In: Wikipedia
