aqueduct initially the tramcars were drawn by mules before electric tramcars replaced the mule or horse drawn trams in 1896 the tramcars colours ranged from green to silver and blue but came to be painted bright yellow after complaints from residents who said that the tram disappeared amid the greenery of the neighborhood the iconic yellow trams or bondes in brazilian portuguese have become a

along the front of his house at first neighbours mocked him for his choice of colours as he covered the steps in fragments of blue green and yellow tiles the colours of the brazilian flag it started out as a side project to his main passion painting but soon became an obsession he found he was constantly out of money so selarón sold paintings to fund his work it was long and exhausting work but he continued on and eventually covered the entire set of steps in tiles ceramics and mirrors running from joaquim silva street and pinto martins street officially known as manuel carneiro street the steps straddle the lapa and santa teresa neighbourhoods in rio de janeiro there are 215 steps measuring 125 metres 135 yards long which are covered in over 2000 tiles collected from over 60 countries around the world no sooner than one section of the steps was finished selarón started work on another section constantly changing it so that it was an ever evolving piece of art selarón considered the work as never complete and claimed that this crazy and unique dream will only end on the day of my death originally tiles for the work were scavenged from various construction sites and piles of urban waste found on the rio streets but in later years most of the tiles were donated by visitors from all around the world of the 2000 tiles 300 odd were hand painted by selarón depicting a pregnant
