Yesterday Brasília, Brazil's capital city, turned 50. (Read about its creation here).
I lived in Brasília for 8 years and it has meant a lot to me.
This is a picture I found of French actor Jean-Pierre Léaud (on the right) and some guy in Brasília, probably taken in the 1960s. Léaud is the star of one of my favourite films of all time, The 400 Blows (Les quatre cents coups), by François Truffaut. The Brazilian National Congress, with the white columns and large dishes on the sides, is behind him.

There's no place like it on earth.
