The shoreline of Downtown Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The shoreline of Downtown Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The photographer is looking across the bay showing the curve of the coast and there is a small pier in the left foreground from which two men are rod and line fishing. A tall modernistic clock tower is on the left and the clock is reading 5.05. The names Plaza, Metro, Texaco and Standard appear on four of the buildings. Three large buildings are under construction.
