EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bruno Domingos, we are transported to the mesmerizing city of Rio de Janeiro. The iconic Sugar Loaf mountain stands tall and majestic, shrouded in a thick blanket of early morning fog. This natural phenomenon adds an ethereal touch to the already breathtaking landscape. As one of the city's main tourist attractions, Sugar Loaf mountain holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. Its distinctive shape and panoramic views make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Rio de Janeiro. The date is August 18,2004, when an unusually heavy winter fog descended upon the city. The misty veil enveloping Sugar Loaf creates an air of mystery and intrigue, transforming this familiar landmark into something otherworldly. However, as beautiful as it may appear in this photograph, the dense fog caused flight delays from nearby Santos Dumont airport. Despite these inconveniences for travelers, nature's spectacle offers solace to those who appreciate its ephemeral beauty. Domingos' skillful composition captures both the grandeur of Sugar Loaf mountain and the delicate interplay between light and shadow within the foggy atmosphere. It serves as a reminder that even well-known landmarks can be transformed by nature's whimsical touch – inviting us to see familiar places with fresh eyes.
