I took this photo in Spring 2015 when I visited Rio de Janeiro. If you look closely at the top of the mountain you know exactly where I was headed. Many cities have iconic features that make them instantly recognizable, and for Rio, that is Christ the Redeemer. This statue was built throughout the 1920's and has grown into such a cultural icon it was listed as a new Wonder of the World. While the view from the statue is incredible, as you can see, the view on the way up is pretty spectacular too!
