That is stunning.

In Madrid we went to the this church and it was just as breathtaking.The church is built inside a rock. It is amazing and the cross is huge!!

150 meters tall...

I have one pic that has more of the church it in but I still couldn't get all of it in shot. The place where it was built was breath taking...

It was built as a memorial to all those that died in the Spanish Civil War
 
Rio is my favourite city in the world and the picture above show why it is so beautiful.  This is a picture of me with 3 of my friends (including ex-GF) but all you can see are my eyes.

The statue can be see all over Rio De Janeiro and it was positioned on the "Corcovado" to remind the people of Rio that no matter where you are and what you are doing, Jesus Christ is watching over you.  When you go to the top of the Corcovado, you can indeed see the whole of Rio De Janeiro so those pictures above are not trick photography.  For natural beauty, Rio is definitely number 1 city.  Man made beauty, there are many candidates (mine is Barcelona).
