The Ariau River is a tributary of the Rio Negro in the Amazon Rainforest. This is a shot as seen from a small wooden boat. The piranha were mighty plentiful along here.
Thanks for looking!

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.

shot from Rurrenabaque's mirador. Amazon rain forest. El Beni. Bolivia.
The Beni River (Spanish: Río Beni) is a river in the north of Bolivia.It rises north of La Paz and flows northeast. It is the most important tributary of the Madre de Dios River. Two of Beni's tributaries are the Madidi River and the Tuichi River in the Madidi National Park and Madidi National Park respectively. Tuichi River joins the Beni River upstream from the town Rurrenabaque. South of Rurrenabaque, the Beni River runs through the Amazon rainforest. About 30 km (19 mi) before joining the Mamoré River at the Bolivia-Brazil border, the rapids of Cachuela Esperanza interrupt the upstream navigability of the river.
klassieker Volvo PV 544 Sport uit 1963
De PV544 werd parallel aan de Amazon geproduceerd. De Amazon was weliswaar bedoeld als opvolger voor de populaire Volvo PV444, wat een echte "volksauto" was, maar de Amazon bleek voor veel PV444-rijders te luxe en (dus) te duur. Als tussenoplossing kwam Volvo met de PV544. Pas in 1965 werd de 544 afgelost door de Amazon Favorit, een "uitgeklede" versie van de Amazon.
De 544 was een gemoderniseerde versie van de Volvo PV444 en was, qua techniek, eigenlijk een andere auto. Beide auto's komen qua uiterlijk en carrosserie duidelijk uit dezelfde Volvo PV-serie. De verschillen tussen de 544 en de 444 bestaan hoofdzakelijk uit:
Modernere techniek,
Moderner interieur (gebaseerd op de Amazon),
Beduidend groter glasoppervlak,
Grotere achterlichten,
Moderne grille.
De auto was leverbaar in 3 uitvoeringen: Favorit (lees: standaard), Special en Sport. Tegenwoordig is de auto zeer geliefd bij verzamelaars.
Just got these in the mail today!!! I can't wait to play Pokemon Art Academy because of what I've seen from Game Grumps and Luigifan10 and my Bowser Jr. looks amazing! He's probably one of my favorite Amiibo! Now I'm just waiting to get Dr. Mario, he's coming on Wednesday!

Leticia, Colombia, taken in December 1998. My first time in the Amazon, with Everaldo and Heber, and the infamous Joel, with whom we parted company a few days later at an army barracks late at night just over the border in Brazil. A stage had been set for what looked like go-go dancers, there were soldiers with guns positioned around the perimeter, and at some point, a fully-clad Santa Claus was lowered into the arena. It felt like a scene from a bad Vargas Llosa novel, so we hitched back across to Leticia. I can still remember this storm, though. A highlight. We'd just left the then semi-ruined hotel that had belonged to the American drug trafficker Mike Tsalikis on La Isla de los Micos.
Shocking to see from up here, how much of the Amazon rainforest is actually gone now.
Schockierend, von hier oben zu sehen, wie viel vom Amazonischen Regenwald schon verschwunden ist!

The Volvo Amazon is a mid-size car manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars from 1956 to 1970 and introduced in the USA as the 122S at the New York International Auto Show in April 1959.
The Amazon shared the wheelbase, tall posture and high H-point seating of its predecessor, the PV and was offered in two-door sedan, four-door sedan, and five-door wagon body styles. In 1959 Volvo became the world's first manufacturer to provide front seat belts as standard equipment — by providing them on all Amazon models, including the export models — and later becoming the first car featuring three-point seat belts as standard equipment.
When introduced, the car was named the Amason (with an 's'), deriving from the fierce female warriors of Greek mythology, the Amazons. German motorcycle manufacturer Kreidler had already registered the name, and the two companies finally agreed that Volvo could only use the name domestically (i.e., within Sweden), modifying the spelling to Amazon. Subsequently, Volvo began its tri-digit nomenclature and the line became known as the 120 Series.
The Amazon was originally manufactured at Volvo's Lundby plant in Gothenburg and subsequently at the company's Torslandaverken plant, which began operating in 1964. By the end of production, 234,653 four-door models, 359,917 two-door models and 73,220 station wagons had been produced, of which 60% were exported; for a total of 667,791 vehicles.
