Photographer's Note
Here I was in the higher part of the Big Axis. I used my powerful zoom to get the National Congress at distance. Here you can see the largest flag of Brazil, located in the Three Powers Square, the mast is 100 meters high and it was inaugurated in 1972 to celebrate the 150 years of Brazilian independence. The mast is composed by 24 bars, meaning the 24 states and territories of Brazil in 1972.
At distance you can see the outskirts of the city, located in the other edge of Paranoá Lake.
You can see the two buildings of the National Congress and the bridges between them, where you can see a people inside. At April 21th the sunrise appears exactly in that gap, for coincidence it is the day of Brasília anniversary and the day of celebration of the leader of a rebellion for Brazilian independence occurred in 1789.

Eu estava na parte mais alta do Eixão e ao longe podia ver o Congresso Nacional e a maior bandeira brasileira, erguida na Praça dos Três Poderes. Essa bandeira tem 100 metros de altura, sendo que o mastro tem 24 barras significando as 24 unidades da federação em 1972, quando se celebrava os 150 anos da independência. Ao longe vemos os subúrbios da cidade, localizados do outro lado do lago do Paranoá. reparem que há uma pessoa parada na ponte entre os dois prédios do congresso, aliás, o sol nasce nesse espaço no dia 21 de abril, que é o aniversário da cidade e dia de Tiradentes.

Hi Jorge,
The two towers made me think about the New York and the old World Trade Centre.
Very well spotted here and I like the addition of the flag.
It feels as if the air was very hot and was vibrating.

Hi Jorge,
The flag is eye-catching. The point of view is showing the details of the flag and of the moving vehicules. Have a nice day.

Hello Jorge,
The distortions of the large flag and the two towers next to it created by the long zoom you used give an artistic touch to the photo, the contrast with the sharper foreground is nice as well.

Hi Jorge
the image quality may not be the best, but there are a number of things I really like about it. love the tall buildings, love the huge flag, love the heat waves that are distorting the image too, that's really cool. great shot. cheers

Hi Jorge,the details are a bit lost in the large zoom that when digitally causes a certain grain, but it is enough to understand the grandeur of the Brazilian flag next to the two skyscrapers, the perspective is very beautiful. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hi Jorge
The towers and flag may not be in focus but the result is artistic with the foreground very sharp.
