Picture this. A sailor on a carrier pulling into Rio and because he’s been up all night working simply hits the rack for some sleep. He wakes up just after dark and decides to walk up on the flight deck for a look see of the city lights. He is oblivious to the mountain or the statue sitting atop of it. He’s looking around and suddenly the lights come on at the statue and all he can see is Christ in the sky. He can’t see the mountain top it rest on just the statue. That was my first look at that statue. :>}
What a truly amazing experience that had to be.
Would love to see the statue but Rio’s so crime-ridden I doubt I’ll ever go.
