Hello again, hivers!
Here I am, immersed in the colours and lights of my adventure in this extraordinary corner of Roraima. Every moment here pulsates with an energy that moves me deeply.
Today, Saturday 19 April, the call of the sunset drove me towards the Orla Taumanan do Rio Branco, in Boa Vista. The very name of this city ignites an adventurous spark in me. At six o'clock in the evening, the bus quickly dropped me off at the entrance to Orla Park. I hurried to get off, my smartphone ready to capture the magic of this place. My plan now unfolds in a simple serenity, absorbing the vital energy of the river that feeds my inner peace.
What watercolours are painting the sky at this moment? I feel the subtle melody of the harbour insects. Although the breeze has stopped, the unmistakable scent of the river and the day's catch permeates everything. At this leisurely pace, I immerse myself in a palette of warm, vibrant colours as the sun dances on the waters of the Rio Branco.
This park, the Orla, is the perfect stage for this visual symphony. The afternoon fades away as if the whole world were sailing in a giant boat, protected by the majestic flight of giant winged birds that soar through the sky. A light joy blossoms in this weekend that turns out to be spectacular.
I have a new interest: exploring the heights of the Orla viewpoint. I make my way to the little bridge where I meet the friendly officials of the tourism department of the Prefeitura de Boa Vista. When I ask for information, they point me to a Google link to register next week. However, my enthusiasm prompts me to introduce myself and explain the purpose of my photographic quest. To my surprise and delight, I am immediately granted access to the top of Boa Vista!
From up here, the nightly spectacle of the Rio Branco and the city of Boa Vista takes my breath away. It is a real pleasure to capture this experience for you in words and pictures, and to share with you the lush and paradisiacal beauty of this Amazonian region on the border of Roraima.
The experience I have gained from my happy adventure in the north-eastern Amazon region of South America is the luxury of rest, distraction and relaxation in this architectural jewel on the banks of the Branco River, because what you do is climb to the top to contemplate with ease the magnificent spectacle of nature.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure and sharing my view of the Amazon.
