Photographer's Note
After almost one hour waiting inside a bus stop and then storm stopped for while and I walked to a curious corner of the city.
The Temple of Good Will is composed for many modern pavilions in marble, but the temple itself is a marble pyramid, inaugurated in 1989.
The Legion of Good Will isn't in fact a religion but a ecumenical collage of many religions, as Catholicism, spiritualism, Rose-Cross (a religion with Egypt inspiration), etc..
This ecumenical movement was created in 1950 by a famous radio journalist and became an important religious movement in Brazil, working with charity, anyway, when Alziro Zarur, the founder, died the organization got other administration and corruption hit the donations with a public scandal and a posterior decay.
In the top of this structure in located a giant natural quartz crystal, that would be the largest of the world.
..............
Fiquei quase uma hora dentro de um ponto de ônibus esperando que a tempestade passasse e finalmente pude caminhar até um dos recantos mais curiosos da capital.
O Templo da Boa Vontade é um complexo de pavilhões modernos de mármore e entre eles está o templo em si, que tem o formato de uma pirâmide, tendo sido erguido em 1989.
A Legião da Boa Vontade não é de fato uma religião, mas um movimento ecumênico que surgiu em 1950 depois que o radialista Alziro Zarur o criou, focado em ações de caridade. A entidade é uma mistura de várias religiões e filosofias de vida, entre elas o espiritismo, o catolicismo e a filosofia Rosa-Cruz.
Depois que o fundador faleceu surgiram denúncias de desvio de donativos e a entidade teve um decaimento.
No topo da pirâmide se encontra um gigantesco cristal de rocha que dizem ser o maior do mundo.

Hello Jorge,
This promises to be a an excellent edifice. The composition could benefit from centering and straightening.
