We recently spent eight nights in Brazil, where my new Sony Cybershot camera got a good work out — especially the panoramic function. The photographs below were taken between October 26 and November 2. Click on the images to enlarge them.
The view over Vila Vehla, in Espírito Santo (about 400km north of Rio de Janeiro), taken from Penha Convent.
Bridge linking Vila Velha with Vitória, also taken from Penha Convent.
The beach in Vila Velha — it stretched for miles, and we walked the length of it in beautiful sunshine.
Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro, looking south.
Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro, looking north.

A (hazy) view over Rio from the top of the mountain where Christ the Redeemer is located.
A view over Rio from the top of the Sugar Loaf — it was the only day of our trip that it threatened to rain.
