Amazon


Sunset on the Amazon, between Tabatinga and Manaus, Brasil, February 2010

Again on our voyage down the Amazon on local mixed cargo-passenger ships. My last weeks Sky Watch Friday was from the same trip, but on a different boat.

For me one of the most beautiful places on earth.

For more Sky Watch from around the world, drop in to Sky Watch Friday.

    Beautiful, the ripples in the water, the color of the sky and its reflection, all beautiful.

    Great catch! The rippling water is wonderful -- wonderful counterpoint to thealmost menacing sky. Well done!

    I dream of traveling the Amazon someday. Your photo makes me dream all the harder!

    THE SKY’S A MOST WONDERFUL THING

    The sky’s a most wonderful thing,
    Within it some strange creatures sing:
    The angels and such;
    But dragons? Not much—
    They’d rather breathe fire and take wing.
