37º on Itaipú

Thermometers read 37º at midday.

Here are some photos and video clips of the activity at Itaipú beach, a popular place to cool down:


On the rocks and in the waves.
Rio's Sugar Loaf and Pedra da Gavea on the horizon.


Fishing and surfing.

Cooling off.

About to cross the inlet connecting Itaipú lagoon and the sea.

Father and sons looking for crabs.


Pass me the surfboard.


Tall figure on the rocks.

Helicopter arrives.

Elegant dive.

Contemplative.

Clambering up, on the lagoon side.

And in.


And in, again and again.
