Scotsman Arriving in Rio on St. Andrews Day

Couldn't resist this shot, albeit blurry, arriving in Rio de Janeiro this morning from Sao Paulo. The flight was 37 minutes and cost over EUR 16 per minute which really is outrageous (my flight to Brazil from Europe cost EUR 1.4 per minute), but maybe the views on approach are worth it from time to time!

Christ the Redeemer is perched on Corcavado, the high point on the right-hand vertical third-line.
