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.

Sens recalled he almost photographed the famous Christ the Redeemer statue appearing to 'hold' the Moon a day earlier but was unable to get the shot he wanted because there were too many clouds in the vicinity. Sens said he tried and failed Saturday to capture the shot when the moon was blocked out by clouds. But the conditions for his anticipated picture changed on a dime and he moved sideways as the moon started to go down.
