Ipanema Beach at Sunset
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, November 2000
Wandering down Ipanema
beach on a late Sunday afternoon, I stumbled upon a frantic
crowd. Thousands of people were singing and dancing on the beach
to the pulsing percussion of a local band. I decided to join the
fiesta. Hours later, a sudden shower soaked everyone on the beach,
but it only intensified the energy of the crowd. As the rain
clouds cleared, the setting sun broke through again, lighting up the sea
and sky in yellow and gold.
