Here are some photos from the mountain near us. We took a few volunteers up there, for them to see the view and the favela (slum) from a distance. This was a rare opportunity to have a camera at the top of the hill. Many times it is not recommended as it could be stolen on the way through the favela.
Both photo´s are the same shot, with one enlarged so you can see where we live (Casa Luzeiro) in relation to the slum and the city. It always amazes me how big the favela is.
