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.

Amazon Kingfishers are skilled hunters They're 11 to 12 inches long, weigh about 4.5 ounces, and are usually seen perched waiting to dive for fish. Found along rivers and lakes from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, the Amazon Kingfisher thrives in lush tropical habitats.

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.

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.
Black River and Amazon River
The Meeting of Waters
The Amazon River, located in South America, is the largest river in the world in volume of water and the largest river in the world in extension, with 6.992,06 km. The Amazon River originates from the source of the Apurimac River, on the slopes of Nevado Mismi, in the Andes Mountains, Peru, at 5,600 meters above sea level. Source: All Matter.
O Encontro das Águas
O rio Amazonas, localizado na América do Sul, é o maior rio do mundo em volume de água e o maior rio do mundo em extensão, com 6.992,06 km. O rio Amazonas tem sua origem na nascente do rio Apurimac, na encosta do Nevado Mismi, na Cordilheira dos Andes, no Peru, a 5.600 metros acima do nível do mar. Fonte: Toda Matéria.

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
A igarape is a watercourse Amazon water first, second or third order, consisting of a long arm river or channel. They exist in large numbers in the Amazon Basin. Characterized by shallow and almost run into the forest. Only small boats such as canoes and small boats, can navagar by the waters of a stream due to its shallow depth and be narrow.
The word was adopted from the Tupi. Literally means "canoe route" through the junction of ygara terms (canoe) and loveto (path)
Characteristics:-
Most streams have dark waters similar to the Black River, a major tributary of the Amazon River, carrying little sediment. They are navigable by small boats and canoes and play an important role as transport and communication.
Amazonian streams are an integral and essential part in the functioning of the forest, because they work as ecological corridors, linking forest fragments and facilitating displacement of wildlife and gene flow between populations of species of animals and plants.
Um igarapé é um curso d'água amazônico de primeira, segunda ou terceira ordem, constituído por um braço longo de rio ou canal. Existem em grande número na Bacia amazônica. Caracterizam-se pela pouca profundidade e por correrem quase no interior da mata. Apenas pequenas embarcações, como canoas e pequenos barcos, podem navagar pelas águas de um igarapé devido a sua baixa profundidade e por ser estreito.
A palavra foi adotada do tupi. Significa, literalmente, "caminho de canoa", através da junção dos termos ygara (canoa) e apé (caminho)
Características:-
A maioria dos igarapés tem águas escuras semelhantes às do Rio Negro, um dos principais afluentes do Rio Amazonas, transportando poucos sedimentos. São navegáveis por pequenas embarcações e canoas e desempenham um importante papel como vias de transporte e comunicação.
Os igarapés amazônicos constituem parte integrante e essencial no funcionamento da floresta, pois funcionam como corredores ecológicos, ligando fragmentos florestais e facilitando deslocamento da fauna e o fluxo gênico entre as populações das espécies de animais e vegetais.
