About the photo
I was heading to my University located in the wealthy neighborhood of Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro. There are some nice buildings around there. The vista was wonderful and I couldn't miss the opportunity. So I pulled out my phone risking getting mugged, and took a few photos.
This one pic stood out and was peculiarly beautiful because of the golden tones of the setting sun in contrast with the gentle rain that was falling at the time. The clouds were swirling, moving rather swiftly, indicating that a storm was near and the Redeemer Christ at the background is the cherry of the cake. I know I don't stand a chance on this challenge, but why not trying it? At least I can share some of my work and demonstrate the powers of an almighty in-built 5 MP camera hahaha
About the place
Botafogo is a wealthy neighborhood located in Rio de Janeiro's south region. The place is known for the Rio Sul mall and the Yacht and Football Club Botafogo. The neighborhood borders other nice neighborhoods like Urca, where the Pão de Açucar is located and Copacabana, known worldwide for the nice beaches.
I study at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, located between Urca and Botafogo. Since I usually go there by dusk, such beautiful views are quite common, but there was something else this day. A different shine perhaps...
So this is it! I hope you enjoy it!
