Sunset in Bello Horizonte Jannuary 2026

January in Belo Horizonte. I had been waiting all afternoon for that one perfect moment — when the sun drops low and slips behind the mountains, painting the sky gold. From the ground, the city loses the light fast. But with my drone, I don't have to lose it. I lift off, climb above the ridgeline, and chase the sun back into view. For a few extra minutes, I get to follow it, watching Belo Horizonte glow beneath me — the hills, the rooftops, the long warm shadows stretching across the city. It's the kind of beauty you can only catch from up there, and only for a heartbeat before the day finally lets go. LAKS.com
