Green circles

I like all these green circles at O Cristo Redentor. There are almost the same number of umbrellas are there are lights.

View of Rio

The view from Corcovado is spectacular and shows Rio's amazing, wondrous topography. (Corcovado is O Cristo Redentor's mountain)

First sight of Rio

We came into Rio de Janeiro in the late evening, so this is a photo of our first sight, taken from the ship. The central feature is Sugar Loaf Mountain and the bright light on the peak to the left of Sugar Loaf is Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) on Corcovado Mountain.

Back in the late 60's I had a Harvey Mandel LP that I loved called Cristo Redentor. Ignorant of Portuguese (Redentor is Spanish too) as I am, I thought he had made up that name!
