When the sun shines, they throng on beaches such as Ipanema and Copacabana. This shot is of the latter.

Christmas Eve 2005 I went in a taxi to Sugar Loaf Mountain.  In reality this means arriving at the rock in front  of Sugar Loaf and taking a cable car up to Sugar Loaf itself. Unfortunately the cable car was shut. Nevertheless, a herd of local taxi drivers were waiting nearby. After some careful negotiations, I ended up being taken up to Santa Terese (and then on to Corcovado) From Santa Terese, I took this shot of Sugar Loaf and Botafogo. The hills in the background are known as Niteroi, I’m told.

The cable car at Sugar Loaf Mountain, Rio De Janeiro is in two parts. Urca is the first stop on the trip up. The route bends slightly to the left before the main climb to the top of sugar loaf.
