What an amazing place, full of wonderful people and incredibly beautiful. If you look closely in the middle of this photo, on the peak of the mountain you can see the Christ statue that overlooks the city (which is featured in the first photo.)
This week I was digging through old files trying to find some decent photos for a report I was writing on our work there, I surprised myself by finding a few gems, and thought I'd share one of the most beautiful places on earth.
This was the beach near my apartment (how lucky was I?) All of these are SOOC and taken with an old Canon PowerShot. Proof that beauty like Rio's will always shine through.
My favorite Brazilian musical group is Tribalistas, a "super group" made up of three Brazilian singers who got together to record an album: Arnaldo Antunes, Carlinhos Brown and the amazing Marisa Monte, here's their: Velha Infancia (2004 Digital Remaster)

Once again you pull off beautiful pictures with what sounds like an ordinary old camera, probably like the one I have. I am really starting to realize that maybe it's not my camera's fault; it's my camera operator's fault for not having great pictures!!
Maybe if you go back and live there again someday, I could come visit you this time!
Your photos are stunning and I'm glad you came across them to share. Have a good weekend.
I love the top photo and the Sun . Fantastic..What that had to be like living there. Its been a dream to see that in Rio . May not happen but I can still dream :)
Loved your post Jamie
I have always wanted to go to Rio...how incredible that you lived there!!!
It does look an amazing place, one day I might get to visit there too with my two lovelies :-)
Stunning photos, loved them all, what a beautiful experience you must have had there x
I think it's more proof that what you see with your heart, shines through. Lovely photos!
gorgeous photos. it looks like an amazing place!
What a nice post...Brazil is beautiful! I have never been to Rio though, one day. I love Brazilian music too and have never heard of this band, thanks!!
Wow, what gorgeous pictures! I would love to go there.
It looks like a beautiful place to be Jamie!
Wonderful photographs!
How beautiful! I've always believed that almost any camera can take wonderful photos, and these are another example! I love my little Canon that I carry with my everywhere.
Jamie, just wanted to say thank you for organising the spring swap. I really enjoyed making something to send off and I recieved a wonderful parcel from Carolyn yesterday which made my day! Thank you x
What a beautiful place..and what wonderful memories. Love the images!
love your photos, especially the sunset. point & shoot or shooting on automatic, it's all good if you've got a good eye like you do.
I've always thought it would be incredible to see the harbor of Rio de Janeiro with that statue of Christ.
And living there...how incredible!
Jamie, what gorgeous shots and a wonderful experience! Thanks for sharing these with us.
Rio de Jainero looks awesome. Really want to go there!

These are gorgeous! I so want to visit there one day.
you must have been thrilled to see these gems again .. the light is just stunning !
i love your song collection. and rio seems to be pretty stunning from your photos! that sunset is wild! i love it!
I LOVE this music Jamie. I listen mostly to "world music" and haven't heard these guys, so thanks for sharing. when my side-kick was selling off some of his thousands of vinyls on eBay a few years back the most interest was from collectors in Brazil. !?? young people who remembered the great musical renaissance of the 80's and wanted a piece of it. I thought that was interesting. your photos are so beautiful, even sooc. you are blessed to have these memories and I'm so happy you've shared. have a great day Jamie.
Those are beautiful. You just proved that a point and shoot takes great shots too! I always seem to regret not taking more shots and writing more things down when I travel. The minds doesn't hold onto memories like you think it will!
These photos are gorgeous! South America is a continent I'm yet to set foot on and I'd love to have a decent amount of time to go slowly on buses and foot from north to south. Happy dreams.
wow you lived there???? that is so cool!!!
I've been so busy I haven't been blog hopping enough. I can't believe I missed this post!!
Stunning shots which only shows to go ya it's the artist behind the camera-NOT the camera. You're a natural.
Your work must be so interesting-finding yourself in different locales all the time. I'm looking for a new career-mine is so NOT a match. What do you do? and would I like it or have ability at it?
Happy weekend Jamie.
One of the most beautiful in the world
O Rio de Janeiro continua lindo.... :)
I know that song isn't by the Tribalistas, but I love it too and it seemed appropriate. And don't feel bad about your attempt to learn Portuguese, it's a hard language. I mean, future subjunctive? Really?
Suas fotos sao incriveis. Que bom que achei seu blog.
