Christ The Redeemer, Rio De Janeiro, 2005.

Christ the Redeemer, Rio

Christ the Redeemer in Rio. Sitting at the top of Rio’s Corcovado Peak, the statue of christ is symbolic of this great city. I took the cable car up to the top and was blown away by the views of the city.

More black and white photography from Rio can be found here.

Rio De Janeiro view

Christmas Eve 2005 I went in a taxi to Sugar Loaf Mountain.  In reality this means arriving at the rock in front  of Sugar Loaf and taking a cable car up to Sugar Loaf itself. Unfortunately the cable car was shut. Nevertheless, a herd of local taxi drivers were waiting nearby. After some careful negotiations, I ended up being taken up to Santa Terese (and then on to Corcovado) From Santa Terese, I took this shot of Sugar Loaf and Botafogo. The hills in the background are known as Niteroi, I’m told.

The cable car at Sugar Loaf Mountain, Rio De Janeiro is in two parts. Urca is the first stop on the trip up. The route bends slightly to the left before the main climb to the top of sugar loaf.
