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
Subject to availability. The Amazon rainforest, or at least what's left of it, generates a large part of the oxygen that you breathe. A few decades back, these photos would've been dark green.
Nur solange Vorrat reicht. Der Regenwald im Amazonasbecken, oder zumindest das, was davon übrig ist, erzeugt ein Großteil des Sauerstoffes, den wir alle atmen. Vor ein paar Jahrzehnten wären diese Fotos noch dunkelgrün gewesen.

I made this photo of a Festive Amazon (Amazona festiva) at Reserva Natural La Palmita in Trinidad, Casanare, Colombia. The Festive Amazon is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Peru and Venezuela. It lives in forest, especially várzea, and woodland near major rivers. In places it also lives in coastal mangroves, mainly in the Brazilian state of Amapá. La Palmita is a civil-society nature reserve in Trinidad that protects about 400 hectares of flooded savanna and 250 hectares of forest. IUCN lists the Festive Amazon as Least Concern, with a decreasing population.
I used a Pentax K-1 with the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 for this one, at 1/250 sec, f/5.6, ISO 125. La Palmita's research center also monitors the savanna's birds and mammals and rehabilitates and releases wildlife rescued from illegal trafficking.

Jesse out driving in his Amazon in Handen earlier today. The old Volvo has changed a bit since I last photographed it.
I visited the Amazon office London as I am doing some consultancy work for a company. I loved this statue at the front entrance and the person shows the relative size of the artwork. The statue is called In Anticipation by James Burke. It is inspired by the limitless possibilities of our next thought, move and action.
An imagining of an Amazonian twilight.

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.

Les bateaux qui remontent le fleuve amazone sont une vraie aventure à vivre ! Endroit rêvé pour faire de superbes rencontres.
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).
