The mountain on the left almost looks like a tiger or something laying down. Beautiful.

Hi Ken Mac,
This is Pedra da Gávea (literally Rock of the Topsail), that is an impressive rock rising 842 meters above sea level at the highest point, located in Floresta da Tijuca in the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is the world's largest monolith on a coastline.
You can see more informations and photos Here.

Lovely shot! I wish I could be there instead of here in the cold.

I thought sure that mountain on the left would be called El Gato.
