The district of #Belén with its ramshackle houses on stilts is such an interesting place to see in #Iquitos #Peru! Look at all the rusted #TinRoofs! How many houses do you think are in this photo? While visiting the Belén neighborhood you will see the way of daily life around the #AmazonRiver. There are many #TreasuresOfTraveling to explore in Iquitos and the surrounding #Peruvian #Rainforest. treasuresoftraveling.com/treasures-of-traveling-on-the-am...
On the Amazon we met up with this floating "fish pen" vessel heading for Iquitos to sell their valued cargo of pineapple fish, named that because of their particular pineapple-like scales. They had been traveling as you see in this photograph for four days and still expected another day before reaching Iquitos's market.
I don't roleplay tho. I have to rp for work, talking to people is exhausting otherwise. So please, go find another rp partner, I'm just trying to chill.
Note: On rare occasions I might rp. RARE. VERY RARE. And dick has to be involved. (weird ass horny ass SL men need not bother responding to that.... I already know yall run around with raging pixel boners most days) ((laughs))

Relaxing Together before the Afternoon Rains.....
The Ilford B/W film which I used ( as here ) seemed to survive the years as print quite well although the transparency film, which I also used, had faded before scanning and processing...
Please feel free to view and enjoy the Galleries ...other people's beautiful work .......
A pair of horses dine on vegetation along a small tributary of the Amazon near Manaus, Brazil. This image was taken from a motorized canoe as we explored the eco-system along small tributaries of the Amazon.

Today's edition of "Armchair Traveling During the Coronavirus Lockdown" takes me back to our trip down the Amazon River in Peru. The variety of flora and fauna was fascinating. This is an achiote, lipstick tree. The seeds inside the flowers are used as a red dye.

The Meeting of Waters is the meeting between the dark waters of the Rio Negro and the pale sandy-colored waters of the Amazon River. For 6 km (3.7 mi) the two waters of the rivers run side by side without mixing. It is one of the main tourist attractions of Manaus.
This phenomenon is due to the differences in temperature, speed and water density of the two rivers. The Rio Negro flows at near 2 km/h (1.2 mph) at a temperature of 28 °C (82 °F), while the Rio Solimões flows between 4 and 6 km/h (2.5–3.7 mph) at a temperature of 22 °C (72 °F).
The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission takes us over northern Brazil, where the Amazon River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Originating in the Andes, the Amazon River flows east, traversing six South American countries before reaching the northeast coast of Brazil, where it empties into the Atlantic. The sediment-laden river appears brown as it flows to the open ocean in the upper centre of the image.
The coast is surrounded by a muddy-brownish plume of suspended sediment, carried from upstream to the maze of channels constituting the 270-km-wide mouth of the Amazon. Discharge from the Amazon River, the Amazon plume, accounts for around 20% of the global input of freshwater into the ocean from Earth's land surfaces.
The Amazon has over 1000 tributaries, some of which are visible as thin, winding lines entering the river from the south, including the Tapajos River to the west and, further downstream, the Xingu River. The dark colour of these sediment-poor tributaries contrasts with the brownish sediment-rich Amazon waters.
The Tapajós-Xingu area is an important moist forest ecoregion. However, the Transamazon Highway, discernible as a brown line traversing this area, has spurred urbanisation.
The colour of the land varies, ranging from the deep green of dense, untouched vegetation to various tones of brown, highlighting the contrast between the rainforest and sprawling cultivation ̶ the fishbone-like patterns particularly visible along the highway.
Light green hues across the image denote agricultural areas, which were once covered by rainforest. The somewhat geometric shapes, which appear dark green and brown, result from forest clear-cutting.
Rainforests worldwide are disappearing at an alarming rate, a matter of great concern owing to their pivotal role in the global climate, and their status as habitats for a wide range of plants, animals and insects.
With their unique view from space, Earth observation satellites like Copernicus Sentinel-3 are instrumental in highlighting the vulnerability of rainforests by documenting, on a large scale, the extent and damage due to deforestation, particularly in remote regions.

Editor's note: Friday eye candy. :) Happy weekend to all!
What at first glance might appear to be a piece of abstract art is actually a photo made using a 180mm lens from approximately 226 nautical miles above Earth featuring the very wide Amazon River floodplain at Santarem, Brazil. One of the Expedition 37 crew members aboard the International Space Station took the photograph on Sept. 18, 2013. Center coordinates of the area pictured are located at approximately 2.1 degrees south latitude and 54.9 degrees west longitude.

I spent 4 days in the Amazon jungle just outside of Puerto Maldonado, Peru. We flew in, took a boat ride down one of the tributaries to the Amazon river, and lived out of these beautiful wooden cabanas. They had just been built about a year earlier and were absolutely gorgeous. Each cabana had a private bathroom, 2 beds (or 1 king bed), mosquito netting around the beds, mosquito netting on the windows, a fold-down couch, and 2 hammocks that faced out into the jungle. It was an EXTREMELY relaxing way to spend our 4 days in the jungle.
One evening I took the camera out at night and decided to photograph the cabanas using the natural light: small gas lanterns that were placed around the cabanas. A small bit of clouds provided a nice extra element in the sky. The slightly long exposure created some nice movement in the stars. I used the path leading to the other cabanas to draw the eye through the photo.

Taken on a trip down the Amazon in Peru a couple of hours by boat from Iquitos. We stopped for a couple of hours and walked through some fascinating villages.

Today's edition of "Armchair Traveling During the Coronavirus Lockdown" takes me back to one of our very early morning excursions on the river. We set out to do some bird watching. Bird photography from a moving boat is nearly impossible, but I did capture some fantastic rainbows. It had rained heavily early in the morning, but we managed to escape getting wet. I always had the rain sleeves for the camera with me anyway...
