British painter Bob Nadkarni is seen at his home at the Tavares Bastos favela, in Rio de Janeiro, June 21, 2007. Nadkarni moved to the Tavares Bastos favela in the 70's. One glimpse of the spectacular Sugarloaf mountain view was enough he decided to build his own home there. Now he rents rooms to visitors and features a monthly Jazz night that attracts scores of outsiders.
