Morro Dois Irmãos Leblon Rio de Janeiro
Made by SeLuSaVa
Rich and poor people in the same place! Vidigal is a favela in Rio de Janeiro. It is located in the South Zone of Rio, between Leblon and São Conrado neighborhoods ). The favela is placed on the base of Morro Dois Irmãos Leblon (named after a French plantation owner, Le Blond, who owned this area) is an affluent neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, just west of Ipanema, another neighborhood in that city. In the north it is bordered by Gávea, and in the west by a towering hill called Dois Irmãos, which translates as two brothers, because of its split peak. It's very much like Ipanema but even more exclusive, being the home of very rich, affluent and famous people. The beach is a bit more quiet and relaxed than the hip and trendy beach of Ipanema. The neighborhood has the highest land prices of Brazil and Latin America. Consequently, the many beautiful houses in the neighborhood were torn down to make way for high-rise apartments.


A deity under construction, Rio de Janeiro – Brazil. Crystal ball
Made by kees straver
Corcovado, meaning hunchback in Portuguese, is a mountain in central Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The 710-metre granite peak is located in the Tijuca Forest, a national park. Corcovado hill lies just west of the city center but is wholly within the city limits and visible from great distances. It is known worldwide for the 38-meter statue of Jesus atop its peak, entitled Cristo Redentor or Christ the Redeemer. The view from Corcovado is truly amazing, you´ll have a wonderful panoramic view of Rio and some of the city´s main attractions like: downtown Rio, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The statue of Jesus was under construction during my visit, but I didn´t mind that for one second. There aren´t a lot of people how have a picture like this and especially when captured in a Crystal ball.


The Redeemer
Made by Humandecoy - back
The statue of Christ the Redeemer (O Cristo Redentor, in Portuguese) is the emblematic art deco statue of Jesus Christ atop the 700 m tall mountain Corcovado, in Rio de Janeiro. The statue, almost 40m tall and inaugurated in 1931, is visible throughout Rio and no visitor will fail to go there. In addition to spectacular views across the various neighbourhoods that comprise Rio, it is great fun watching people posing before the statue. The open armed Christ is often mimicked for the sake of a souvenir photo, and seeing lots of people posing open armed can be hilarious and/or quite sweet or even exhilirating as in this photo where my subject climbed a separation wall much to the awe of the crowd gathered below.

. This extraordinary flower was growing from a tree in the Botanical Gardens in Rio de Janeiro. Does anybody know the name of the tree, I would love to know ... ?? The answer, provided by dear Rebeca Mello (http://www.flickr.com/photos/34341983@N03/) from Sao Paolo, Brazil is that it is the Cannonball Tree (Couroupita guianensis).

Dawn in Ipanema
Made by mistca
The top terrace of my Hotel Sol Ipanema served as an excellent vista for stunning sunrises and sunsets. The view of the beach is in the direction of Leblon. Apparently, a nice hotel in Salvador, Bahia decided to use my photograph WITHOUT my permission on their website. Moreover, on their website they claim that this image represents Moro de Såo Paulo. Look for yourself here. 0368-0120--/-0218-0207-/-0210-0222-/-0176-031306-/-0041-081106

The view of this famous statue in Rio de Janeiro, from Sugarloaf Mountain, was obscured by cloud for much of the morning, when suddenly, the clouds parted long enough to capture this scene. Rio Janerio has been awarded the Olympic Games for 2016. To see the view, before the clouds parted, please link below : www.flickr.com/photos/59303791@N00/3238041075/

Flying high over Rio de Janeiro
Made by kees straver
This is the view you´ll get when you´re standing on the platform at Corcovado. Every time I see this shot i´m always wondering what the view must be like from the helicopter. I didn´t do the helicopter tour because they where asking a lot of money for just a couple of minutes. I guess this view of Rio de Janeiro is the second best view you can get.


Good luck, Mrs Rousseff

. Congratulating my Brasilian Flickr friends on the appointment of Dilma Roussef as the president of Brasil. Hopefully another step towards prosperity, peace and social justice for this great nation. I added a kitschy touch to Cristo Redentor (statue of Christ the Redeemer), which I thought was not inappropriate ... ;---) In Explore, thank you!


Above the stars

Rio seen from the top of the Corcovado hill - it is one of the most famous, most photographed cityscapes of the world. But you can't really imagine what a breathtaking wonder it is until you haven's seen it with your own eyes. Especially after the sunset, when the thousands of city lights make you feel flying above an ocean of stars...
