Caption

In Brazil on the mountain Corcovado the statue of Jesus Christ raises above Rio de Janeiro at a height of 700 metres above sea level. Jesus, with its height of 38 metres and weight of 1145 tonnes, stretched out his hands above Rio protecting the city and blessing its inhabitants. In 2007 the statue of Jesus was recognized as one of the new miracles of the world. Using the helicopter, I made the a bird's-eye view panorama of this majestic place. Camera Canon 1DsMarkII, objective glass Nikkor 10,5mm fisheye.
