Rio De Janeiro, Brazil: Sugar Loaf Mountain 2006
Before I started long term traveling around the world, I used to be like 80% of you out there – a working stiff. I saved away for my week of vacation and tried to get as far away as I could from my job. Back in 2006 this took me to Rio De Janeiro for a sailing trip with Gap Adventures. I was just starting to get serious about photography at the time and I was planning my eventual career break and around the world travels. This shot was from a cable car queue/boarding line on Sugar Loaf Mountain; one of the most popular tourist attractions in Rio. Sugar Loaf is an icon in Rio, defining the well known Rio landscape. I always loved to play with reflections in photography, as well as circles; in this shot I was able to incorporate both!

Very cool angle! Bet you couldn’t ever go back to the two-week type of travel
Yes – anything less than a month now seems absurd! I’m ruined for life!
Such a neat picture, I keep staring at it. So many angles to focus on.
That’s fun to get a slightly different angle on a well photographed site.
I could totally look at this pic for hours. So crazy and cool!
