Right here - Fortaleza, Northeast Brasil. That photo was taken from my office's window, thanks to a "knee" or a slight deviation on the street. That church is Fortaleza's Cathedral, a rather ordinary building in plain light. I had the idea of using some building or tree as foreground to a sunset photo. After some search, I noticed the alignment of the towers and started the wait. From my office - or any point in that line that would show the tower openings - the sun passes behind the church at full speed, almost at the central point of its arch.

Thanks!

Took me 3 years to get this particular view - that
alignment happens 6 days each year, 3 of those usually with
heavy overcast and the other 3 with plain, cloudless skyes.
Just as the new building was rising - that shot is no longer
possible from that angle - I get this.
