Photographer’s Note
"Olha que coisa mais linda, mais cheia de graça...
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar..."
from Garota de Ipanema's Vinicius de Moraes and Tom Jobim song.
Here a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro city looked from Niteroi neibor city.
a little of history
Rio de Janeiro city was founded on 1 March of 1565 by Estacio de Sá. The name of the city was a mistake, because when the portugues arrived here they think that Guanabara bay was a river (rio) mouth and because of the January month they put the Rio de Janeiro Name.
In 1807 the Portugal Real Family came to Rio de Janeiro when their contry was invaded by Napoleon troops. It was Brazil capital from 1882 to 1960.
Both Republic (1889) and Abolition of Slavery (1888) occured here. Many others revolutions occured in the city during it history.
a little of geography
Rio de Janeiro is the second largest city of Brazil and South America, behind São Paulo, and the second largest metropolitan area in South America, behind São Paulo. The city has 1,182 square kilometres with a population of 7.787.098 (2008).
Rio has a tropical climate. The temperature occasionally reaches over 40°C (104°F) in inland areas of the city, and extreme maximum temperatures above 30°C (86°F) can happen every month. The average annual temperature is 23°C (73.5°F).
In the photo from left to the righ we can see the Suggar Loaf mountain, far in the back the Gaveas Rock, then the Corcovado Pick. The buildings are from Botafogo and Flamengo neiborhood. The sea are the Guanabara Bay that separetes Rio from Niteroi city that are linked by Rio-Niteroi Bridge.

Dear Andre,
Great panorama with spectacular composition and beautiful colours. The distant details are fantastic, the atmosphere of the photo is amazing. The white sailing boat in the foreground is attractive detail. Beautiful work. Have a nice day!

Ola Andre
Nice image of this famous coast where the boat catches the eye thanks to its highlights, I like also that anchor foreground part on the right, the whole seems to tilt slightly to the left.
Have a nice day JY

Olá André,
Your gallery of the photographs and informative notes on Brazil form a wonderful photographic introduction, not only to TE in general, but especially for me. There is a good chance I will briefly be visiting Rio next January. (I will be on the Crystal Serenity's Cruise #0302 on January 22, 2010).
I also see that you are a fellow-scientist (I am a physicist).
Warm regards,
Bulent

Bela panorâmica André!
gostei do barco, perdido no meio do mar, da inclusão da rocha à direita, dando uma "deixa" do lugar onde você fez o registro e, finalmente do fundo, revelando a cidade onde você estava.
Grande abraço.
Wagner.
