Christ the Redeemer

We took a tour yesterday and the last stop was at the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue that overlooks the city.  We drove 2310 up the mountain then two escalators and one elevator ride to reach the top.  His arms strath out 92 feet and he is 97 feet high and the pedestal he stands on is 28 feet!  Construction started in 1922 and completed 1930. The views of the city were stunning!
