Rio De Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro, on a nice warm day. There's still a lot more to this city not shown in this photograph. This is definitely one of the more sexier viewpoints though, at least of the city. You must drive through a Favela to get to this viewpoint, and it can be dangerous, otherwise I would have tried photographing it early in the morning for the sunrise, or later in the evening when all the lights begin turning on. Maybe next time....but not without a guide. When carrying a DSLR, there is an underlying fear you're being hunted. What's yours will soon be theirs if not careful. I found it similar to walking near the monkeys in India, grabbing at anything shiny and rushing into the woods. It's wild. Be careful if you go, and I highly recommend a guide.
