Weekly Photo challenge … Silhouette

I am not a technical photographer in fact I don’t consider myself as a photographer. I take pictures ; what I see. A snapshot that is often a happy accident.  A silhouette for me is often a result of me taking a snap into the sun; and then deleted.

So I thought this week’s challenge might thwart me; until I remembered some photographs I took last week at Ipanema as the sun went down behind Sugar Loaf.  This is of course a daily event but nonetheless the last glimpses of the sun at about 5pm on a winter’s afternoon in Rio de Janeiro still brings crowds to watch and celebrate.
