Pool at the front of the Sofitel Rio Palace, across the Avenida Atlantica from Forte Copacabana. Since the fort (on a small peninsula) is the intersection of the city's two most famous beaches, Copacabana and Ipanema, it is in an ideal setting. You can see the red tile roofs of buildings at the fort in the background. (Photo by Kathleen G. Charters, taken with a Canon PowerShot S300 Digital Elph)
