I wasn't sure if my pic would fit on the exhition because of the theme but then I remembered that this picture was taken among more 166 other windows in Tiradentes, Brazil. The city has this name because of its famous son, Joaquim José da Silva Xavier (1746-1792), aka Tiradentes, who was a leading member of the brazilian revolutionary movement known as the Inconfidencia Mineira whose aim was full indenpendence from the Portuguese colonial power and to create a Brazilian republic. He died on April, 21, and his body was quartered in several pieces with his head been publicly displayed. He was a martir and the day of his death is a national holiday in Brazil.
Here some of the windows, each one with its own personality.
