Christ the Redeemer.
I found this photo and for some reason it speaks to me. For one it’s an awesome picture. In fact any photo of Christ the Redeemer is epic looking but throw in a soccer stadium and you’ve got me hooked! I love how the stadium looks like a halo over Christ the Redeemer.
What’s ironic about this picture is the neighborhood in Rio between Christ the Redeemer and the Maracana Stadium is one of the most violent, dangerous neighborhood in all of Brazil. It’s considered to be a war zone by many, where the drug lords control the area and occasionally the Brazilian government send in troops to fight them off.
Yet with all the problems in that neighborhood this picture brings me peace in thinking that even though people are dying there and drugs are flourishing, Christ is there for innocent people who have to deal with this.
