The remains of virgin Amazon rainforest are seen after it was cleared for its wood along the PA 150 highway near Moju, Para State. The PA 150 is the main route used for the transportation of illegal charcoal to smelters producing pig iron, one of the main components of steel, in the city of Maraba. REUTERS / Lunae Parracho
I tried my luck at the O Caritas Car/Moped/Scooter Shooting Technique today. Using the nifty fifty I took eight auto focus photos at f1.8 of this blue Amazon, which I then rather unsuccessfully tried to stitch together. Restitched with only four shots, and that turned out OK, although I had to fix the licence plate. I probably need to practice on this technique.
My hands are tired and eternally crimped in the rod-grip position. My stomach and chest are riddled with small bruises in perfect proportion to the fly rod fighting butt. My luggage contains shredded fly lines, reels that received more of a workout than they ever dreamed of while sitting on the shelves, rods that were doubled over and contorted in shapes they were not designed to ever see, and a dozen flies that are torn and beaten up by razor sharp teeth. These are the after effects of a trip to Agua Boa Amazon Lodge, deep within the Amazon jungle.
The Rio Agua Boa is, by Amazonian standards, a small feeder river that empties into the much larger Rio Branco, which in turn joins the River Negro. The Rio Negro joins the Rio Solimoes at Manaus to form The Amazon proper.
Two girls from Gamitana Cocha, a small village in the Peruvian Amazon, walk the two-mile trail to their sister village: Vista Bueno. Both of these girls attended a free health clinic provided by Project Amazonas earlier that day. This photograph is part of a solution which provides health care to over 6,000 people in the amazon rainforest each year. Learn more about what we do at NGO AidJoy.
My 1968 Volvo Amazon Estate has the later B20 engine with overdrive, a lightened crank, fuelie head with Volvo race part valves (possibly sodium filled), steel timing gears, performance cam and followers, down draught Weber on a Pierce inlet manifold, IPD front anti-roll bar and a performance exhaust system and bilsteins shocks all round.
The car was originally Dark Green with a tan interior.
The previous owner owned the car for 17 years…it was his work horse, before that it was previously owned by Lt. Commander Robert Sloane (N.A.T.O.) stationed at Ruislip, the vehicle was purchased by him in California and last registered in Maryland. He brought the car with him when he was posted to the UK.
Amazon children must learn to paddle dugouts early if they're to learn how to survive the swift currents of the Amazon River.
