World’s largest floating Christmas tree lights up in Rio de Janeiro


This year 2012, the gigantic 85-metre high metal structure built by Brazil's largest insurance company surprised the public with a decoration based on the four seasons of the Earth.The 542 tonne structure was dressed up with images of -
 leaves representing the fall
snowflakes to portray winter
 flowers related to spring and
 gold ribbons to represent the summer.

Over 100,000 people flocked to the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon to watch a 6-minute fireworks show, which has become one of Rio's main tourist attractions.
