If you have a funny or unusual photo depicting life in Brazil please send it to gringoes@gringoes.com with 'Photo of the Week' in the subject line. Ideally we are after photos that are of something a little different, not traditional shots of beaches and sunsets. Please send relatively high resolution images (0.5 Megapixel / 640 x 480 or bigger), and let us know where you took the photo and if you have a title for it.
