The photos below are of the area of the Amazon River where I live. It is an exotic, unique, serendipitous, strange place. They are, in order from top to bottom, Sunrise on the Amazon, Bora Indian kids (we gave them the sunglasses), a three-toed sloth and an aerial photo of Iquitos. More photos to be published soon.
