off a boat. Other than size, the amazon and green kingfishers are very similar indeed. the amazon carries its crest more prominently and white wing spots only visible in flight.

At Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brasil - Male - The Amazon Kingfisher is a resident of lakeshores and large-slow flowing rivers from northern Mexico south to central Argentina. They are large dark bronzy green birds with a ragged crest, a white throat and collar, and a white belly; the breast of the male is rufous, while the female has a narrower green breastband. Amazon Kingfishers are superficially similar to the Green Kingfisher Chloroceryle americana, but are much larger with a heavier bill, and typically forage from more conspicuous perches. Amazon Kingfishers hunt fish and crustaceans from a perch, diving into the water to catch their prey and then returning to the same perch before stunning their prey and swallowing it head first. These kingfishers also occasionally hover above the water before diving to catch prey. The nests are excavated by making tunnels into road cuts or erosion gullies near water.
Wishing everyone a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!

Not the bookshop - the ancient female warrior. This is the head of what was once a full figure of a wounded amazon. This you cannot tell from just this head, of course, but this is a Roman copy (from ca 150 A.D. - made of marble) of an older statue which was quite popular. So with just this head, you can tell what original this was a copy of. And hence which motif it was. There was no mass-production back in the day, as we know it, but that did not mean everything existed in just one copy.

Online giant Amazon is destroying millions of items of unsold stock every year, products that are often new and unused ...
and it is not the only thing Amazon destroyes ...

Arguably the longest river in the world, the Amazon meanders its way from the towering Andes in Peru to the sweeping coastline of Brazil, where it empties into the vast Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon River and its tributaries is located in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Brazil. The entire river measures over 4,000 miles from its source to the river mouth. However, the exact length of the Amazon is arguable as the location of its start and end points have both been disputed historically. The Amazon River is currently alleged to be 6,992 kilometers long.*

The Amazon rainforest is currently experiencing a significant increase in wildfires, with 9,000 fires burning simultaneously across Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru. The fires are largely set intentionally to clear land for cattle ranching, farming, and logging, and have been exacerbated by the dry season. The number of fires is an 80% increase over the same period last year. The Amazon is often called "the lungs of the world," absorbing greenhouse gases that would otherwise harm the planet. The fires are destroying the homes of indigenous tribes, threatening millions of animals, and even darkening the skies over major cities. The impact of the fires on the Amazon's biodiversity will be significant, with between 40,000 and 73,400 square miles of the rainforest impacted by fires since 2001, affecting 95% of all Amazonian species and as many as 85% of species that are listed as threatened in this region.
A quiet dawn in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
The sky glows softly above the river, its colors mirrored perfectly in the still waters below.
This moment captures the raw serenity of nature — untouched, vast, and deeply alive.
No filters, no noise — just the Amazon breathing at sunrise.
A tribute to the beauty and fragility of one of Earth’s most vital
