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!

  1. Very cool angle! Bet you couldn’t ever go back to the two-week type of travel ;-)

    Such a neat picture, I keep staring at it. So many angles to focus on.

  3. That’s fun to get a slightly different angle on a well photographed site.
