On the last day of her 4-day official visit to Brazil, Queen Mary of Denmark, together with Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard, visited Brasília's Botanical Garden, which is an important area for nature conservation. Queen Mary of Denmark is the patron of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The Botanical Garden of Brasília is an important center for research and conservation of Brazilian flora, including the biodiversity of the Cerrado, the world's largest savanna ecosystem. UNEP's work in Brazil focuses on promoting biodiversity conservation, sustainable use of natural resources, and mitigating the effects of climate change.
Later, the Queen concluded her official visit to Brazil with a tour of the Palácio Itamaraty, home to the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Queen was given a tour of the palace, which features several Brazilian cultural treasures as well as a distinctive spiral staircase designed by landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx.
On the evening of October 4, in her role as patron of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Queen Mary, together with Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard, participated in a working dinner with UNFPA at the Danish Embassy in Brasília.
There's something in the immediate moment that is competing for my attention a little more than Mary's outfits - that stunning staircase! What a beautiful artistic and architectural creation. The wide and gentle spiral sweep and the layered colours and textures give it a splendid form.
ReplyDeleteBack to Mary, I like both these outfits.The casual one is perfect, and highlights yet again Mary's ease and comfort in looking fantastic in casual outdoor clothes. I've always liked the polka dot DvF dress which she has worn before. I like that she has dressed it down by wearing her hair loose, thereby giving it a less formal but still celebratory look.
