Rio de Janeiro offers many breathtaking views, and some people are
lucky enough to see one of those views from their window.  An office
at the top of Edificio Cardeal Leme of Pontifícia Universidade
Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio).  I visited a few weeks ago has
one of the three best office views I've encountered in my six months
in Rio.  (The other two great views were from windows of people I
interviewed, so no pictures as I need to keep interviewees' identity
confidential.)

Those are obviously not all views from the same window: rather, it's
parts of a 360 view offered by a balcony that encircles the top floor
of the building.  PUC is located in Gavea, western end of Zona Sul.
We thus get a view of Tijuca Forest, Corcovado (second row) with the
statue of Jesus showing in the openings between the clouds, the lake
(Lagoa), then the back side of Leblon.  In the back there is again
forest, interrupted by Rocinha.
