A Brazilian photographer has finally succeeded in capturing an incredible picture of Christ the Redeemer appearing to 'hold' the moon with both hands after three years of failed attempts.
Leonardo Sens snapped his long-awaited shot, on Sunday, June 4, 2023, from Icaraí Beach in the Rio de Janeiro municipality of Niterói, almost seven miles away from where the iconic statue is located. Sens who has been taking pictures around the Rio de Janeiro area since 2005, revealed that he had prepared himself for the astonishing shot by studying the Moon's position.
His patience and determination finally paid off on Sunday, June 4, 2023 - although, it was touch and go, with his efforts on Saturday
being thwarted by clouds covering the moon.
He explained that he had prepared for the astonishing photo by studying the moon's position and he already knew what time of year the moon would line up with the great monument.
Christ The Redeemer, is an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, constructed between 1922 and 1931. Cristo Redentor (Portuguese) is 30 metres (98 ft) high, excluding its 8-metre (26 ft) pedestal. The arms stretch 28 metres (92 ft) wide. It is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone.
