I had been to Sugarloaf Mountain a couple of days earlier as part of a city tour. Unfortunately, Sugarloaf was the last place we visited and by the time we got there it was dark. But we went up, and all of us realized the spectacular view from both, the intermediate station (Morro da Urca - 218M above sea level), and from the top (Pao de Acucar - 394m above sea level). Because it was a guided tour with about 25 people, we could spent only a limited time at either station. I decided to come back on my own. It costs about $25 for the ticket and there are no time restrictions as to the time spent at either station. The photo opportunities are limitless, at both stations. 360 degree views, pointing down or up, inspecting and photographing and reading about the history of the cable cars (they began operating in 1911 and have had a major overhaul recently), there are souvenir shops and refreshments at both stations and there are remnants of tropical rain forests at both stations with walkways (up or down - very seldom level), allowing for additional 360 degree photo opportunities, plus possible wildlife and exotic plant shots. When one ran out of ideas taking pictures of those there was plenty of opportunity for people watching. It didn't matter what sex or age the visitors were, they all went wild taking pictures of the scenery and each other. I decided at one point that I would stay up there and watch the sunset, so did most of the other people. The twilight in the tropics is short and once the sun nears the horizon it sets pretty fast. I was fortunate to have a digital camera (point and shoot) with a large memory card, so it didn't matter how many pictures I took, and one never knows how the sunset will develop. In the old days I often used a whole roll of film during one sunset so I could get one or two good pictures.

Very nice capture. I like the lighting very much.

Really beautiful shot!

Stunning capture my friend. There s always something special about sunrise and sunset. God Bless.

Well, this was worth the effort, staying up all night and waiting ... Sunrise - sunset, they are always like a little miracle to me, day by day ! Wouldn't want to miss something so stunning for quids (Aussie slang for money), thanks for sharing something so breathtaking, Cheers BB

A lovely sunset you caught over this beautiful view.

I love the quality of the light. Wow. It looks like the sun has taken all the color out of the sky and is sitting on it, like a beach ball on a wave. Wonderful photograph!

Amazing lighting and view from ontop of the world- thanks for sharing! :-)
