The image displays Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, viewed from the waters of Guanabara Bay. A clear, unblemished blue sky occupies the top portion of the frame. The central subject is Sugarloaf Mountain, a large, steep-sided rock formation composed of granite and quartz, presenting varied dark brown, gray, and tan striated rock surfaces. Patches of green vegetation are distributed across its slopes and summit. To the left and right of Sugarloaf Mountain, additional green, densely forested hillsides descend to the water's edge. A faint strip of sandy shoreline and distant light-colored structures are discernible on the far right. The lower half of the image features dark blue-green water exhibiting surface ripples. Two watercraft are present: a dark-colored single-occupoccupant kayak or canoe on the left mid-ground, and a white motorboat with at least two individuals aboard, positioned on the right mid-ground. Both vessels are on the water.
