Sunrise at Ipanema, a photo from Rio de Janeiro, Southeast

Photographer's Note

Hi TE friends

This is my second post from Rio de Janeiro. Sunrise at Ipanema, looking the opposite side from the yesterday picture.
Ipanema is a neighborhood that summarizes the best Rio de Janeiro has to offer.Most of what is known as Ipanema today belonged to aristocrat José Antonio Moreira Filho, the Barão de Ipanema. Ipanema means bad water in Brazilian Indian dialect, but since the name was inherited from the baron, it has nothing to do with our beautiful blue sea. Once the tunnel connecting Copacabana to Botafogo was opened, Ipanema was finally integrated to the rest of the city.

In 1894 Vila Ipanema was founded, with 19 streets and 2 parks. The neighborhood started to grow faster with the arrival of streetcars in 1902. Ipanema became a household name in the 1950's and 60's - it is the birthplace of Bossa Nova. The whole world learned about it with hit song The Girl from Ipanema by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Morais, both Ipanema residents.

I hope you like. Enjoy!

Bonjour Yannis,
Waow, magnifique toutes ces couleurs.
J'aime beaucoup la dynamique des nuages et les montagnes à l'horizon baignées dans cette brume rose.

Great sunset capture. The colours are beautiful, and I like the haze over the city.

Adding the road with the streetlights on the right by the water is a nice touch.

Γειά σου Γιάννη,
Τα χρώματα που έχεις αποθανατήσει είναι, το λιγότερο που μπορώ να πω, φανταστικά. Σπουδαία φωτογραφία, μοναδική δουλειά!

Φιλικά Γιάννης

Amazing fire sky, sunset it's not only faraway in the sky, but into the city, Great for giving the sense of being there, to capture the atmosphere.

Great moment, thanks for sharing.
