Tirei essa foto porque achei uma cena curiosa, mas ao mesmo tempo sei que essa imagem reflete a falha enorme que existe na educação dada nas escolas e lares brasileiros.
Por ela vê-se que abrir mão de um direito (ir e vir) por algus instantes, até que alguém no sentido transversal também o faça, é impossÃvel.
Esse cruzamento fica na Av. Marques de São Vicente com a saÃda do viaduto Pacaembu.
Tirei a foto ao meio dia.
Obs. Frequentemente esse semáfaro entra em pane.
Abraços,

Photography from a flight over the North American prairies: the journey was from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan into the province of Alberta. A snow-covered landscape shows an interplay of light and shadows. The meanders of the river are vaguely indicative of a snake or dragon.
Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad station at Randolph Street in Chicago, Illinois as seen from the 52nd floor of the (then) Standard Oil Building on May 23, 1985, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was the view from my office for a couple of years that I worked for a company that occupied that floor. All the rails seen are now under Millennium Park. Also seen is a bi-level train borrowed from the RTA to fill in during an equipment shortage. The CSS private car HIRAM is at the north end of the RTA train.
The skylight-covered loading dock at the James A. Farley Building will be a pedestrian walkway connecting 34th Street and 31st Street in the planned Moynihan Station.
The James A. Farley Building, New York City's General Post Office (Zip Code 10001), located at 421 Eighth Avenue and occupying eight acres across two full city blocks, consists of the old general post office building and its western annex. The Farley Post Office holds the distinction of being the only Post Office in New York City that is open to the public 24 hours/7 days a week.
The James A. Farley Building was constructed in two stages. The original monumental front half, boasting the longest giantr order Corinthian colonnade in the world, was built by William M. Kendall of McKim, Mead & White from 1908-1913 and opened for postal business as the Pennsylvania Terminal in 1914. The imposing design was meant to match in strength the colonnade of Pennsylvania Station that originally faced it across the avenue. An unbroken flight of steps the full length of the colonnade provides access, for the main floor devoted to customer services is above a functional basement level that rises out of a dry moat giving light and air to workspaces below. Each of the square end pavilions is capped with a low saucer dome, expressed on the exterior as a low stepped pyramid.
In July 1918, the building was renamed the General Post Office Building and was doubled in space in 1934 by James Farley, replacing the 1878 Post Office at Park Row and Broadway. In 1982, the building was renamed once more as the James A. Farley Building. Farley was the nation's 53rd Postmaster General and served from 1933 to 1940. As a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 1940, he was only the second Roman Catholic to receive delegates towards such a nomination after Alfred E. Smith. Farley also served as a campain manager to both Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and is considered the finest Athletic Commissioner/Boxing Commissioner in New York State history.
The building prominently bears the inscription: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Commonly mistaken as an official motto of the United States Postal Service, it is actually taken from Herodotus' Histories (Book 8, Ch. 98) and describes the faithful service of the Persian system of mounted postal messengers under Xerxes I of Persia.
Moynihan Station, a planned train terminal, would expand Penn Station into the Farley Post Office Building. Plans for the expansion of the the busiest train station in the country, serving more than 550,000 daily passengers, the busiest train station in the country with more than 550,000 daily passengers. It has since gone through a portracted series of delays and redesigns over the years. Phase I of the current plan, "Moynihan Moving Forward", broke ground in 2010 and, with work occuring only on nights and weekends, is expected to be complete by 2016. The phase consists of mostly below-grade, transportation infrastructure improvements including the expansion of the Long Island Rail Road West End Concourse under the Farley building steps to serve Amtrak and New Jersey Transit platforms, new entrances through the Farley Building, and improved ventilation. The second phase includes a sky-lit grand hall with 1 million square feet of retail space. The Farley Building's facade will remain untouched, and it will retain retail postal lobby services . However, all mail processing operations will be relocated one block away to the Morgan Processing and Distribution Center.
The United States General Post Office was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966.

Patrick Steptoe is a multi-faceted artist from Great Britain. He is a professional fashion designer but also makes illustrations, creates product designs and teaches at his very own academy for design. The figures of his sculpture resemble a mix of mice, rats, guinea pigs and humans. Just like these comical mice-man happily frolic in their three holes and alleys while enjoying themselves, humans should protect the environment as well as nature instead of destroying it. We should learn to strongly cooperate with nature in the future.

Somewhat of an anticlimax, I thought. But then I have been spoilt by the Tahune Airwalk, in Tasmania. Great view and facility, this skywalk at Dorrigo.
