OPEN MIND... MENTE ABERTA...


Photos taken by Carlos A. Mascaro at Jurumirim Dam, São Paulo, Brazil.

The quote "Minds are like parachutes, they only function when they're open", is attributed to the American musician and composer Frank Zappa and to the chemist and physicist Scotch Thomas Robert Dewar.
A frase "A mente é como um paraquedas, só funciona quando está aberta"? é atribuída ao músico e compositor norte-americano Frank Zappa e ao químico e físico escocês Thomas Robert Dewar.

    Beautiful photos and a very true quote. If only we had more functioning minds in our world! (I saw Frank Zappa in concert when I was in college, I have good memories of the show.)

    I love that quote! And it is so true....!
    Lovely pictures, my dear....And it looks like GREAT GREART fun, too! And mighty colorful, isn't it?

    Framk Zappa: I sat across from him on the first flight from NYC to Los Angeles, on MGM Grand, where there was No Smoking, anywhere at all on the plane. He was really having a hard hard time with that.

    Interesting binary.

    A local acquaintance of mine, a composer, worked with Zappa regularly.
