More PDA…

and I don’t mean personal digital assistant nor public display of affection. I’m talking about Pão de Açucar. Dug through the pictures I took and found a few more I really like. Below, you can see the neighborhood where B’s grandma lives (Icaraí in Niterói) on the horizon in the middle (white buildings).IMG_9209 Panorama (1024x391)Look at how the sunlight breaks over the mountains -- truly a wonder of nature. On the left, you can see Copacabana.IMG_9255 (1024x683)Detail from above. IMG_9255 (2) (1024x806) Here’s a vertical panorama showing Botafogo Bay.view from pda_9299 Panorama (2) (1024x1015)This was my favorite sunset shot so far. I used HDR but toned it down to capture what it really looked like (in a word, “unbelievable”). 1 view from pda sunset_9434 (1024x683) Finally, see below the runways of Santos Dumont commuter airport (Wikipedia has an identical picture!). This has got to be the commercial pilot’s equivalent of a carrier landing. Not much margin for error in my estimation. Behind the airport you see the bridge that connects Rio to Niterói.IMG_9192 (1024x683)
