Monday Morning Blues – Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
I bought myself a dvd drive and software for my Apple Mac for Christmas and have been busy creating dvds using my photos & videos with an appropriate soundtrack. One of my first efforts was from our 2018 trip to South America, which featured the photo below from one of Rio’s iconic beaches.
