A vertical view of Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema Beach features the iconic patterned promenade, a street, and tall buildings. Mountains rise in the background under a cloudy sky, with the sun trying to break through. On the promenade, people relax, with a few walking along the beach and others sitting or playing near the retaining wall. A pizza delivery box is also on the wall. Cars line the street next to the beach.
