#mademyday
Every few days a good photo, no junk food.
We look at hundreds of photos every day. Within a split second, we decide if we like it and then we are off to the next task or thought.
Rio de Janeiro Brasil, Corcovado Sunrise from the Corcovado
Photos became junkfood, but what really matters is the slow-food, the one we enjoy andtry to get feel all the flavors. Maybe also understand what was the cookthinking when he composed the menu, what inspired him.
I will try to choose every few days a photo and publish it in my linked in account with the tag #mademyday.It can be a photo which I like just because it makes me happy, it canalso be a photo which make me think or just a photo to talk about angood story.
Good story, yes there is a story behind the Sunriseover the Guanabara bay in Rio. Took this photo in 2015 right after theOlympic test event.
We tried for months to get the permission toshoot the sunrise from the Corcovado. It looked like a missionimpossible. Below the Corcovado is a big favela and as a gringo like meyou don't even think to go up there alone by yourselves as you would doin the Swiss mountains. Way to dangerous.
Shortly before I wasabout to flying back home I met a group of managers involved with theorganization of the Rio 2016 Olympic games. And guess what, a few phonecalls and I could choose the day when to go up there.
A entirewell armed escort team drove me up there. They picked me up at 4am inthe morning in front of the apartment I rented in Gloria an area in Riode Janeiro.
At7:30am when the city started to wake up again we where all back inGloria having a coffee in one of the bars in Rio de Janeiro. The guest where looking a bit strange. What is this gringo/foreigner doing with armed police officers in a bar so early. They had no idea what we saw that morning.
This photo for sure #mademyday, enjoy it, I hope it also makes your day.
The photo part of the skyline series, together with images from Hong Kong, Manhattan, Mounth Kailash in Tibet and a few more.
