Along the Amazon River, I became lucky enough to visit the small community called Santa Maria Fatima several times. Each time, after the first time I have been welcomed like a long time friend. Each time these people filled my heart. During the rainy season, the Amazon overflows right into their little village and the kids (my favorites) make the absolute best of it. This pic is an example

This Photo was taken at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens in which is right next door to the Hospital where I go for my treatments ...... I always like to visit the gardens and stroll around first with my camera.... :)

I wasn’t going to get another Steve Trevor doll but I saw him on Amazon for $17 which was a pretty good price for one working doll. The seller took longer than expected to ship out so I’ve been waiting to swap parts around so I didn’t take any before pics.
Anyway, as you know, swapping his legs with Wonder Woman was super easy, but I really like Steve’s head on the Batman body so they swapped heads.
I’m a bit annoyed he came with an eyebrow rub but I can fix that.
But hey, welcome my twins Steve and Trevor.
The third installment in mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration: Destruction.
There are many threats to the Amazon forest, one of them being small illegal gold mines that both destroys and poisons the forest by ruining the soil and dumping mercury waste. This build portrays such a mine.
This is a more somber theme than the previous two, as is the intention. Colors are more muted, with more olive and dark green. The dark tan ground is mostly exposed with vegetation struggling.
The whole setup is very makeshift and temporary, and nothing here is made to last. People are here to get what they can and then move on, giving no care to what state they leave things in. I tried to portray this by making things rather messy and cluttered.
One of the things I was pondering for a while was the inclusion of minifigs in the build. I've had many interesting conversations on whether it would be wise to include them or not. It was important for the build that the issues were not trivialized by making it childish or less natural. With a medium that is often seen as a toy this can sometimes be tricky. For this purpose I went with flesh heads rather than yellow ones, and made sure to avoid any polarizing facial expressions, like the standard "bad guy" faces.
Though certainly not innocent, the workers are not the main culprits in this, but rather other people who are far away from what is actually happening, bear the biggest blame. Often these people who are the main cause of this are not even found in South America, but may reside in Europe, Asia or North America, and this was something that was unfortunately not possible to portray in this build.
When it comes to Lego techniques, much of the focus here was on the man-made parts, which I don't build that often. The nature is not really something new, but I do like the staggered wedge plates technique for a varied incline.
On his side, Bartu created some fantastic sounds, made by on his violin, mimicking the sounds of ongoing destruction of the forest.
Hope you like the build, and that you feel this issue has been properly portrayed.
The sloop AMAZON, with Cdr J E Hunter, was on her way from Spithead to Halifax, Nova Scotia. She was a new vessel just commissioned and was constructed of wood. Early on the morning of Tuesday, July 10th, 1866, the sloop was off Portland when she ran into the s.s. Osprey, Capt. Burtridge, of the Cork Steam Navigation Co., cutting her in two and causing her to sink in a few minutes with the loss of ten lives. The AMAZON sustained vital damage and her crew, after picking up 22 survivors from the Osprey, were ordered to take to the boats. Fortunately there was sufficient room for all on board and there were no casualties among the sloop´s complement. A court-martial was held on board H.M.S. Victory at Portsmouth under presidency of Rear Admiral George C. Wellesley, C.B. Evidence was placed befo re the Court to the effect that the sloop was under command of Sub. Lt. Alfred C. Loveridge at the time of the collision which took place about 1 a.m., the AMAZON striking the Osprey on the port quarter about one third of her length from the stern. The navigation lights on both vessels were burning brightly and the night was clear and calm. The steamship, which was under command of the first mate, sank within five minutes and the AMAZON sank at about 3.30 a.m., just as the weather was beginning to thicken. Sub. Lt. Loveridge was dismissed from the service, but recommended to the favorable consideration of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty "... on account of the high character given him for zeal in the

Amazon kingfisher (Chloroceryle amazona)

This is another large Kingfisher of tropical Central and South America. It closely resembles the smaller Green Kingfisher and can be difficult to separate them. Amazon is usually distinguished by the lack of white spots on its flight feathers (not visible here) but confusingly, Amazon juveniles have white wing spots. Amazon Kingfisher is 28cm long while Green Kingfisher is 19cm long, but Amazon is three or four times heavier. Amazons are occasional wanderers as far north as the US (where Green occurs) and I understand there is one in Texas at the moment that is attracting lots of attention. This is a female, which lacks an orange breast band photographed in Brazil's Pantanal. Its scientific name Chloroceryle amazona literally translates as Amazon Green Kingfisher (or Green Kingfisher of the Amazon).
Here is the full diorama of all four Amazon builds created for mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration!
First of all: Be sure to check out the Full Video of this build! This includes Bartu's masterful compositions, which is how this collaboration really comes alive! Don't miss it! :D
Hope you've enjoyed this collaboration! It has been quite a different one, working in two separate mediums, but I really want to thank Bartu for initiating this! It's been a very fun, interesting and intense month! Thanks!
One last thing: You seriously need to check out the VIDEO result of this collab to see how the music and lego builds work together. If not, you will just be seeing half of it :)
This Kompsat-2 image, acquired on 6 July 2012, shows the Amazon River in the heart of northern Brazil’s rainforest. The false colour makes land vegetation appear pink, while water appears green and dark blue. In the upper-right corner, we can see some sparse clouds. The shades of pink vary – the bolder colour representing thick vegetation with lighter pink showing where trees were possibly cut down. In fact, in the upper-left portion of the image, there’s a clear line between the two shades, showing where vegetation was cut. The white dots show man-made structures. With their unique view from space, Earth observation satellites have been instrumental in highlighting the vulnerability of the rainforests by documenting the scale of deforestation.

Les bateaux qui remontent le fleuve amazone sont une vraie aventure à vivre ! Endroit rêvé pour faire de superbes rencontres.
X This is from Brazil these two boys were enjoying themselves swimming in one of the small channels off the main River Amazon . They clearly had no fear of piranhas
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
Spotted this the other day. Apparently these trailers are new for Amazon.
