Weekly Photo Challenge … Beneath our feet

The pavements in Rio de Janeiro are beautiful;  but I am afraid you will have to take my word for it. There are a two reasons why I am unable to provide evidence; first, there are security issues and there is my safety. A woman with a camera taking images of the pavement is asking for trouble from a would be thief or someone the look out for mad woman!  Then there is me,  it seems I would fall over a match stick, so walking and operating  a camera is a non-no. Nonetheless; I threw caution to the wind when I saw this beneath my feet in Saint Teresa while on my recent holiday.
