This is a set of sculptures made by Francisco Brennand, by the end of the Capibaribe river, in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. This is a polemic sculpture due to some people seeing it as having a phalic form, but the artist claims it's just a flower.
This picture was taken in a photosafari I and a group of guys made throught Recife's old downtown neighborhood, called Recife Antigo.
