Views of Rio de Janeiro

Cris sent me these beautiful images from around Rio de Janeiro.  This first image shows sunset at Arpoador, which is a small peninsula between Ipanema and Copacabana known for great surfing. Below we see Copacabana beach itself.

And would any group of postcards from Rio be complete without an image of Carnaval? Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait until next Easter to go.
