The Amazon is often very wide.
You can see the mixing of the waters near Manaus, where the Rio Negro (color of coca-cola) mixes with the Amazon (on right, color of frappuchino).
The "Amazones de la Confrérie des Gardians" perform a carousel in the Roman Arena of Arles, France. This is to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Mireille, the famous poem of Frederic Mistral.
Frédéric Mistral (September 8, 1830?March 25, 1914) was a French poet who led the 19th century revival of Occitan (Provençal) language and literature. He was a key figure in the literary félibrige movement. He shared the Nobel Prize in literature in 1904 for his contributions in literature and philology.

Mireille is also an opera in five acts by Charles Gounod to a French libretto by Michel Carré after Frédéric Mistral's poem Mireio. Gounod was charmed by the originality of the work, the story being much less contrived than many of those on the operatic stage at the time. During the course of composition Gounod spent much time in Provence (12 March to the end of May 1863), visiting the sites of the action in the poem/opera, and met Mistral on several occasions at his home in Maillane. Gounod stayed at the Hôtel de la Ville Vert in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and was treated to a banquet by the townspeople on May 26. Presenting class differences in a rural setting was not usual at the time, and as Huebner comments "some early reviewers had difficulty accepting that a 'mere' country girl could sing a heroic aria such as "En marche". It has been argued that "what matters in this extended lyric poem is not the story but the rich tapestry or Provençal traditions, beliefs and customs"
It's a busy river. The sky doesn't seem to mind. But as we all know, it's getting busy too. I think you have to look at this in Large, but it's up to you, of course.
