Helipads

Continuing with São Paulo clichés, here are a couple of photos of helipads. Many buildings have these on their roof. They´re so executives can scoot around town from meeting to meeting without mingling with the horrendous traffic. I haven´t actually been seeing all that many helicopters flying about. I wonder if having a helipad is not some sort of expensive signaling mechanism for real estate developers to attract more expensive tenants, sort of like putting viking stoves in new condos.

I´ve actually been in Rio all this past week (tough life, I know). Soon I´ll be posting more boring building & architecture photos from that beautiful city.

does spelling it out really prevent spam?
