I had about a week of downtime in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil following my time in Sao Paulo and Nova Friburgo, so I was dragged from one tourist location to another by our local friends whether I wanted to or not. I was quickly reminded how frustrating it can be to be forced to try and be creative in less than ideal circumstances. Bad light, limited time, and hundreds of tourists aren’t a recipe for great travel photographs.
I was taken up to Pão de Açúcar (Sugar Loaf Mountain), which I must admit was spectacular, and had to stall as long a humanly possible for the sun to drop down in the sky a little to get this cityscape. Any decent travel photo of Rio wouldn’t be complete without the Cristo Redentor (Christ The Redeemeer).

That is a gorgeous wallpaper, thanks for sharing! I hope you had a great time in Brazil.
The name of the Sugar loaf mountain is Pão de Açucar! Pão de Queijo actually means cheese bread, lol
OMG thank you for pointing that out! I actually knew that, but I guess I ate waaaay too much pao de queijo in Brazil and it was on my mind haha! Thanks Vanessa 🙂
