"Christ the Redeemer"

Clouds caress and envelop the image of Christ the Redeemer in this dramatic photo by Mauro Fichman. The famed statue overlooks the city from a vantage point atop Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro. Thrusting skyward like a guardian, the city's symbol seems to embrace the bustling metropolis with open arms and watch with compassionate eyes.
