Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) at the Corcovado peak, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Shot from a helicopter this week; amazing place, amazing geography and people.

The statue, set in Brazil's Rio De Janeiro, is visited by nearly two million people every year - and, oddly enough, it's the third time in 15 years it has been hit by such a strike.
