Its past sunset, but this is what it looks like as of 3 minutes ago.. not bad, eh?
Above is a view of Ipanema beach from the main balcony, so are the 2 pics underneath.
-----
The below pics are from the side balcony, the beachscape you see is Copacabana beach, the city on the hills you see is a 'favela' aka ghetto... these favelas are found on the hillsides of Brazil and are ran by druglords, police wont go there. Oddly enough they are found sometimes ACROSS THE STREET of highly affluent neighborhoods...
and i know the pics are of low quality, they were taken with a Casio Exilim S2 which is about the size of 4 credit cards glued together hehe
tchau
