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.

'In the end, everything went well and I was able to register the long-awaited photo,' Sens told Brazilian news outlet G1. After three years of trying, Brazilian photographer Leonardo Sens finally was able to capture his much anticipated shot of Christ the Redeemer 'holding' the Moon in Rio de Janeiro. The viral image was captured Sunday morning from the city of Niterói, almost seven miles away from where the statue is located.
