- Christ the Redeemer in daylight, Rio de Janeiro
(We just had to take the famous tram up the Corcovado hill to see Christ the Redeemer again, this time, in the light of day. What a new view indeed, with the bright midday sunshine bathing the statue, all 38m tall. It took almost 10 years to complete it in 1931. With the Sugar Loaf Mountain as the backdrop, this is a million dollar view. And the locals know that too, with a string of Shakira-looking Brazilian beauties making a parade in front of this 7-Wonder of the World, some to build up their own runway portfolio, we suspected. Did you notice that little heart on the chest of the statue, which we didn't notice at night?)
