Description
Not representative of the whole city, obviously, but it's quite a classic view. The Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas (in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) at sunset, with the christmas tree all lighted up. The tree also briefly plays christmas songs every 30 minutes throughout the night, which is nice. At 9 pm every Saturday they put on a show with fireworks. It's a shame about the grey clouds, really, but not much I can do about them. D:More pictures from this shoot will be gradually uploaded for the next few days.
Canon 7D.
Taken at Tania's house.

I think the cloud's add an interesting perspective to this shot. Lovely shoreline and the Xmas tree is splendid. Not sure about Xmas songs on the half hour - might pall if you were sleeping in earshot. Remarkable view you have captured there. Well done.

I would have enjoyed sleeping with the christmas songs - would put me to sleep and I'm a heavy sleeper anyway, so it wouldn't wake me up.
Thank you, I'm so glad I made there in time for the last christmas fireworks show I'd have the opportunity to see this year. c:

I'm so proud! You even got the hotel in it! It just adds a bit more shine and awe...
Not that it's necessary though.

Very pretty shot. Is this a panorama? I like the colours and textures of the sky very much...

Why is the resolution so strange? 5000x1800? Does your camera shoot in such an aspect ratio, or did you crop it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I cropped it. I shot up from my friend's apartment, and my tripod is relatively short, so I got a bit of the rail showed up at the bottom, so I just cropped it out. xD
