Copacabana Beach, Rio De Janeiro: Old St. Nick Spotted Lounging on the Beach

I spotted Old St. Nick lounging on the beach - Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I guess even Santa needs to relax and gather energy before heading north (North Pole) to accomplish his task of making the rounds of delivering mega-millions Christmas presents around the world. And what a better place to scope out the view of heights: The Sugar Loaf and Corcovado mountains, and perhaps to receive instructions from Christ the Redeemer, and making a list of those who had been naughty or nice.

Christ the Redeemer stands 30 meters (98 feet) at the summit of Corcovado Mountain (710 meters above sea level).
























The Sugar Loaf Mountain [1,299 ft (396 meters)] seems to soar to a commercial plane flying altitude
