Photographer's Note
One more view of the Guamá River from the observatory of the Lighthouse of Belém.
-
The vegetation in the foreground is called "aningal" and is formed by a plant known as "aninga" (Montrichardia linifera), common in the edges of the rivers and islands of the Amazon Forest. There are also some Açaí Palms (Euterpe oleracea) among the aningas.
-
The area covered by a net, in the foreground, is an aviary, called "Viveiro das Aningas" (Vivarium of the Aningas), home to rare birds of the brazilian avifauna.
-
Across the river, in the picture, you can see Combu Island. It has an approximate area of 15 km², with rainforest covering most of the island, and is located in front of the city of Belém, in the left margin of the Guamá River. The Guamá River has a length of 700km from its source in Coroados mountain range untill its mouth, in the waters of Guajará Bay, in Belém, being navigable for 160km. Its basin drains an area of 87.389,54 km².

Ola Andre,
une bonne idée que d'inclure cet avant-plan efficace, jouant en faveur de la profondeur, dons aussi de la largeur de cette fameuse rivière.
Une belle assocaition de teintes entre le brun des eaux qui prouvent leur force et cet avant plan bien vert.
My best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Andre. A scene from your home country. The view from the tower on the vast landscape is fantastic. Foreground and background complement each other perfectly. Also the informative text like it very much. My compliments for this informative post. Regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Andre,
This is not a river, this is a sea! Your picture is really impressing, such scenery of nature is unthinkable for us. Thanks for sharing.

Olà Andre,
An another view with a very plesanat impression of immensity. I like the choice of a vertical format, very efficience here. The FG give a greta depht to the image with the large prospect open. The differents plans are very well delimited too.
Amizades,
Roger

imagino que onde os açaís e aningas estão o terreno deva ser mais úmido e até brejento, não ?
linda foto, com algo minimalista, apesar dos detalhes visíveis. a sombra da nuvem no rio ajudou a fazer um trampolim visual até a ilha adiante. lidna foto
abraços

Boa tarde Andre
Ficou super bonita essa vista de cima. Vegetação, rio e a linha do horizonte limitada por aquela faixa verde.
Beleza total.

Bom dia André!
Sinto um pouco falta de mais nitidez... com ela, a foto, já bela, ficaria melhor ainda (questão de gosto pessoal mesmo)!
Ponto de vista, formato vertical, composição, exposição e cores estão ótimos, numa fotografia interessante e bela!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Muito boa perspectiva com a inclusão da passarela em baixo, deu uma boa noção de escala. Parabéns pelo trabalho e pela mostra do intenso verde do nosso Brasil!
