Photographer Captures Christ The Redeemer Holding The Moon

A photographer captured a stunning image of Christ the Redeemer “holding” the Moon after three years of attempting to get the shot. In one of the photos the iconic 98-foot high monument appears to be holding the moon with both hands. Sens revealed that he spent the last three years studying the moon's alignment and came close to taking the viral shot on Saturday - but clouds didn't permit it.

A Brazilian photographer has finally succeeded in capturing an incredible picture of Christ the Redeemer appearing to 'hold' the moon with both hands after three years of failed attempts. Leonardo Sens snapped his long-awaited shot Sunday from Icaraí Beach in the Rio de Janeiro municipality of Niterói, almost seven miles away from where the iconic statue is located. The viral photo shows the 98-foot high monument atop the Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca National Park with the moon right above it.
