Christ the Redeemer, Sunset Silhouette
The image is of a crescent moon in a purple, pink, and red sunset that silhouettes blurred tropical trees in black. In front, somewhat blending with the trees, is a miniature replica of Brazil's famous Christ the Redeemer statue. Being close to the camera, the statue stands nearly as tall as the trees behind it.© Randy Heffner inspect image detail »

Among the mountains and waterfalls of Brazil's oldest national park, Itatiaia, I rented a small house. As the sun set, the moon a waning crescent, I found on the lawn a small replica of Brazil's most famous statue, Christ the Redeemer, mounted atop a large rock jutting from the ground. Jesus has open arms, silhouetted against a vibrant purple and orange twilight sky, with a sliver of the crescent moon watching from the sky above. Palm trees and tropical foliage form stark shadows in the background, contributing to the tranquil and spiritual ambiance.
