The largest phenomena of the meeting of waters (or the confluence or rivers) in the world is between the dark Rio Negro and the sandy muddy colored Amazon River near Manaus, Brazil. See in full size to better view it.

Spotted this Ferry transporting goods and vehicles along the Amazon River. We paused fishing for Piranha until the water calmed again. It was an amazing day… and we ate Piranha for dinner that night 😅
Amazon River is the greatest river of South America and the largest drainage system in the world in terms of the volume of its flow and the area of its basin.
The total length of the river as measured from the headwaters in southern Peru is at least 4,000 miles (6,400 km), which makes it slightly shorter than the Nile River but still the equivalent of the distance from New York City to Rome.
Its westernmost source is high in the Andes Mountains, within 100 miles (160 km) of the Pacific Ocean, and its mouth is in the Atlantic Ocean, on the northeastern coast of Brazil.
The first European to explore the Amazon, in 1541, was the Spanish soldier Francisco de Orellana, who gave the river its name after reporting pitched battles with tribes of female warriors, whom he likened to the Amazons of Greek mythology.

Sunset at Amazon River, Brasil.
I´ll stay out for 2 or 3 days. Yes, I have to travel again.
Have a nice weekend, my friends.
And thank you once more time, Ilca. Dedicated to Queen!

A marvelous pastel sunset over the muddy waters of the Amazon due in part to dust sediments in the sky stemming from the severe drought affecting the region and the prevailing windy conditions.
Just roaming. Please don't ask me to roleplay. I'm a terrible roleplayer.

Also known as the Toucan or Common Toucan, is the largest and probably the best known species in the toucan family. It is found in semi-open habitats throughout a large part of central and eastern South America.
This is another close-up of a beautiful bird hope you like it!!!

The Juruena River (Portuguese: Rio Juruena) is a 1,240 km (770 mi) long river in west-central Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso.
The Juruena originates in the Parecis plateau. Within Mato Grosso the river defines the eastern boundary of the 227,817 hectares (562,950 acres) Igarapés do Juruena State Park, created in 2002. For the last 190 km (120 mi) of its lower part the river becomes the border between the states Mato Grosso and Amazonas. In this section the river forms the boundary between the Sucunduri State Park to the west in Amazonas and the Juruena National Park to the east in Mato Grosso. In the north of this section it forms the boundary between the Bararati Sustainable Development Reserve in Amazonas and the Apiacás Ecological Reserve in Mato Grosso.
The Juruena finally joins the Teles Pires river to form the Tapajós river, which is one of the biggest tributaries to the Amazon River. The Juruena River is not fully navigable due to its many waterfalls and rapids. The river is known for the Salto Augusto Falls. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juruena_River
It is a wonderful nature! From my last trip to Amazonian region. Have a Peaceful Travel Tuesday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

A serene view of the Amazon River shoreline in Alter do Chão, near Santarém, Brazil. The dramatic sky, reflected light on the water, and a quiet boat resting by the sandy beach capture the peaceful essence of this remote natural paradise in the heart of the Amazon.
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
Today's edition of Armchair Traveling takes me back to our time on the Amazon River near Iquitos, Peru. We visited a floating "zoo" - a shack where numerous uncaged rainforest animals were being held captive for our viewing pleasure. The toucans obviously hung around because of the frequent handouts of food from the visitors. If you sat near him, he would tap your shoulder reminding you that he expected a tidbit.
At Guajará-Mirim - Rondônia - Brazil - The dark waters are from Paacas Novos River and the muddy waters are from Marmoré River. The meeting of the waters of the Mamoré and Pacaás Novos rivers, in the rural area of Guajará-Mirim (RO), is a very interesting phenomenon. It occurs on the border of Brazil and Bolivia, when the dark water of the Pacaás and the mud of the Mamoré form a dividing line that runs for several kilometers, without mixing.
There are several characteristics that cause the difference in the color of the waters, but mainly because Mamoré River receives several tributaries from the eastern portion of the Andes which carry many sediments and are responsible for the muddy colouring of the water. Pacaás Novo River, on the other hand, just like Rio Negro, from Amazonas, is loaded with organic acids that are derived from the decomposition of organic matter released in the vegetation of its margin area, which gives the dark colour to the waters.
Enjoy your Thursday!

Here's the Igarapé, a fine creek watering into the Guamá River which wets the shores of Belém. You can see that modern city on the far side and the stilted traditional houses along the creek on the left here. Those stilts give an indication of 'the swing of the sea' - as religious poet Gerald Manley Hopkins (1844-1889) might have said - even this far up the tributaries of the Mighty Amazon.
The inset is of a flowering tree that lines many of the Tropical Streams, Pachira aquatica. In Brazil it's often called Monguba or Munguba. But our guide Junior insisted on the local name - and he wrote it down for me - Mahorana. Perhaps... But I haven't been able to reference that name. Anyone out their in Tropical Flickrland?
PS Tomorrow I expect to be in Paramaribo where the internet will possibly be better. Patience, please.
In the tranquil expanse of Puerto Nariño, Amazonas, I had the privilege of photographing the Large-billed Tern, or Phaetusa simplex, a species that captures the quintessence of the Amazon's avian inhabitants. This particular shot was taken as the bird perched elegantly on a branch overlooking the calm waters, its prominent yellow bill a striking contrast to the blurred greens of the riverine backdrop. The tern's black-capped head, a delicate point of focus, draws the viewer's eye, while the soft bokeh amplifies its presence, encapsulating the serene ambiance of its habitat.
From a technical standpoint, the challenge was to balance the depth of field sufficiently to honor the tern's fine details while also rendering a dreamlike quality to the surroundings, emphasizing its natural habitat without detracting from the subject. The lighting was natural, diffused by the canopy overhead, providing a soft glow that highlighted the textures of the tern's feathers. Such moments are fleeting, and capturing them is a testament to patience and the continuous pursuit of that perfect intersection of light, composition, and timing that defines the art of wildlife photography.

Plenty of magic here. And I finally stopped being stubborn and learned sort of how to do quests.
