Another Aerial of Ipanema
I was so excited to photograph Christ the Redeemer from a helicopter, but it is the other photos that I really love, the ones I didn’t expect to catch, like this one of Ipanema Beach. Magic 339/365, Aerial of Ipanema Beach, November 20, 2018
Cristo in the Mist
It was an eery feeling being at the top of Christ the Redeemer and in the clouds. This mission was a complete fail. We were looking forward to getting up there, having a glass of wine and enjoying the serene views of Rio. We set out from our apartment in Santa Teresa on a sunny …

Santa Teresa Street Art

The art lining the streets was the icing on the cake. Magic 334/365, Santa Teresa Street Art, Rio, November 20, 2018

Dasan the Redeemer
Dasan poses, bored, on top of his father’s head on Ipanema Beach in Rio. Magic 332/365, Dasan the Redeemer, Ipanema Beach, Rio
