I’m a brazilian living in Sao Paulo and I’m very happy to see a picture from my beautifull country here at last.This view is not the usual one, since the Sugarloaf is generally the center in sunset compositions(and you are taking from it). I imagine this is dusk, right?

Congrats on this great photo! I love the new perspective. I’ve never been there and have only seen the traditional angle where one looks out toward the sea. I never even imagined the complexity of Rio’s landscape. I also love seeing South America featured on Earth Shots
