Olá Paulo,

Linda composição, mostrando um pequeno mas movimentado porto da amazônia, com seus barcos característicos, que são meios de transporte, instrumentos de trabalho e às vezes residências. Cores, luz e nitidez excelentes.

abraços

Paulo,
aí está um "congestionamento fluvial" :D
Gostei por mostrar um pouco da vida simples dos pescadores ribeirinhos do nosso país.
Parabéns e grande abraço,
Wagner.

Oi Paulo,
Impressionante a movimentação intensa no Porto de Macapá... Pudera! Sem acesso por rodovia!
Obrigada pela nota informativa,
Docarmo

Hello Paulo,

Interesting design of these riverboats!
Not constructed for rough sea in open waters, but providing good shade for hot days on the river...
An interesting documentary of maritime life on the big river..!

Greetings,

Hi Paulo,
Nice to see these parking boats waiting for passengers, broad river suitable for this type of transportation, not easy to built road into forest, it should be a high cost project, thanks for sharing their living style.

Hi Paulo,

An amazing variation of vessels on the border of the Amazon river.
Will you use all these boats for the TE-meeting in Amazon forest in August? Unfortunately I’m not in the circumstances to join you, but I already with you all a great trip and I’m looking forward for the results here on TE.

Groet Rob

boa esta vista do rio e das embarcações típicas. a parte alta da compo mostra a localização do portinho enquanto a parte baixa deixa ver maiores detalhes dos barcos e até personagens meio perdidos neste caos aquático. boa luz, cores e nitidez.

Hi Paulo,
fine chaotic scenery on the riverside.
Great colors.

Hello Paulo, I read about the TE meeting along the Amazon River, I wish I could be there with you & the others, but I guess I will have to happy with looking at your photos. So this is one of the highways in this are, looks very busy. I find interesting the many different boats and the brown colour of the water , colour & detail are excellent. Nice daily life scene on the river.
Regards
Santo

parbo (11054) 2009-08-06 17:02

Olá Paulo,

Thanks for refreshing memories from wonderful Macapá. Your skillful experience perfectly captured wonderful boats, I already missed them.

Parabéns e Abraço!

Urs (3438) 2009-11-19 19:21

Hi Paulo

Now I see, what you meant that you have similar boats on the Aamazona but not so nice then the one we have in Bangkok. However there is not so much difference, we have all kinds of boats and vessels on Bangkok's klongs and river. Some of them look exactly like yours. There is no real difference at all. Possibly even the fare is similar. For ferries the charge is 1 to 2 Baht, for passenger boats there are flat fares between 12 to 18 Baht (1 USD is 35 Baht).

Coming back to your lovely shot, the colors are very vibrant, sharpness is high and DoF is perfect due to the boats leading the view of the viewer directly to the horizon. Well done

Best regards
Urs
