Surfers on Ipanema Beach, Rio

End of the Day on Ipanema Beach

It´s sunset on Ipanema Beach. A setting sun converts the signature twin peaks (Two Brothers) into a magical landscape, while  tired surfers begin to leave. They´ll probably stop off at one of the many outdoor cafés to recall the best wave of the day. Maybe it will be the same café  where the composer of the world hit, Girl from Ipanema, sipped beer as he watched his muse make her way to this very beach. 

 A couple enjoys one more stroll along the shoreline, reluctant to give up the daylight.

As a famous Brazilian writer once said, " I woke up in Rio and found the sea, sky, sun and mountains fighting to see who was the most beautiful."  Ah, Rio.
