Monumento a João de Barros by Francisco Keil do Amaral, 1971

They say he was a poet who spent his summers on this stretch of coast and never stopped writing about the Atlantic. The carving behind him is a few lines of his own verse.

Erisava: Would you actually stop and read this if you passed it on the beach?

Espiral do Tempo by José Aurélio, 2009

I couldn't find much backstory on this one — the title apparently translates to 'Spiral of Time,' which tracks given the twist running up the steel.

Erisava: Would you look twice at this if it weren't in a park and this tall?
