EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bruno Domingos, the iconic Sugar Loaf mountain and Botafogo bay in Rio de Janeiro are shrouded in a thick blanket of fog. The image, taken on August 18,2004, showcases the city's breathtaking landscape veiled in an unusually heavy winter fog. The misty atmosphere lends an air of mystery to the scene as the towering Sugar Loaf mountain disappears into the ethereal haze. Its distinct shape is barely discernible against the backdrop of gray clouds. Meanwhile, Botafogo bay lies calm and serene beneath the foggy veil, its waters blending seamlessly with the mist. This mesmerizing spectacle not only captivates viewers but also caused flight delays from nearby Santos Dumont airport due to reduced visibility. Even Niteroi area of Rio de Janeiro (top left) was engulfed by this atmospheric phenomenon. Domingos' skillful composition transports us to a different world where nature's elements conspire to create a surreal ambiance. The photograph serves as a reminder that even familiar landmarks can be transformed into something otherworldly when enveloped by nature's whimsical touch. No rights clearances or permissions are required for this image; it stands alone as a testament to both Domingos' talent and Mother Nature's ability to astonish us with her ever-changing beauty.
