As the Sunsets in Ilha Marajo

Early Evening on a Lonely Trial as the Sun Begins to Set

I guess you could call it an Amazonian Sunset

What a great way to finish a leisurely walk through the Amazon Region of Brazil, than to watch the sunset slowly in this peaceful part of the world. I personally enjoy being out in nature and Brazil, has a lot to offer when it come to nature or as I like to call the "The Handy Work of God." I've only scratched the surface and hope to Lord willing document some more of it.

Walking Around Ilha Marajo

Low Tide at Barra Velha Beach Ilha Marajo, Brazil 

One day I decide to walk to the river beach at Ilha Marajo. Good idea I thought. I was told it was only 3Km to the beach. I think it was actual more like 6km.

The Waves Were Pretty Strong at this Beach

That's okay, It was an interesting walk. I got to make friends and influence people along the way.

Children of Marajo Island

Three Happy Kids

Well,  I don't remember their names but they were more than happy to have their photo taken by me. When I ask them if  I could photograph them they came running over to me all smiles. They might not have a lot of  material things like other kids in more develop parts of the world but they sure are happy kids.

Buffalo's of Ilha Marajo or Marajo Island

Wild Buffalo's Grazing Freely in the City of Soure on Ilha Marajo

Yes, they are gentle animals and don't mind being ridden 

Here in the town of Soure, Brazil in the state of Para, the very Northern part of the Amazon Region you'll find Wild Water Buffalo's wandering around the little city without a care in the world. These gentle animals just graze on what ever vegetation and fruits, mainly mango's they can find. Oh, and they produce some really great tasting cheese and milk.

Marajo Island or Ilha Marajo, an Island in the Northern Region of the Amazon in the State of Para, Brazil, is a delightful little place to take a few days off and relax and enjoy the slow pace of life that this place has to offer along with the wild life.

This Old House

Yes Someone Lives Here. Town of Soure in Ilha Marajo. Brazil 

Colorful Laundry Hanging out to Dry

While walking the dirt streets of the little Island town of Soure, on Marajo Island in the Northern part of the State of Para, Brazil I came across theses two homes and wonder if any anybody really lived there especial the top house that looks like its about to collapse. As I approached the top house I looked inside and there was a woman sitting there at what looked liked the kitchen she greeted me with a warm smile and said hello. Well, that answered my question real fast. On a positive note it looks like they where building a new house behind this one with bricks. I sure hope so.

Ponte JK

Ponte JK all lit up last year for Christmas

Full Moon Over Ponte JK with Bridge Lit Up with the Colors of Brazil

For the last few years around Christmas time I like to go down to the Ponte JK or JK Bridge here in Brasilia, to photograph it and see how they've lit it up. This year I believe because of the crisis they didn't put any color gels on it or at least the last time I saw it, it was still plain white. Maybe next year.
