That's going to be me, but for only one day, early in my retirement, to check it off my bucket list.

Rather nice moment for these two as they enjoyed the sun setting over a waterfall.

Swimming is fun - 1/5

In the Pindaré river of northern Brazil.

Looks like pills on his and a daily pill dispenser on hers...

And he has an identical dispenser, partly hidden.

Swimming is fun - 2/5

Who is afraid of piranhas? As far as I could tell, nobody. They are fish eaters and seldom bite humans. The Pindaré is home to them, and to electric eels, and Lord knows to what. I even saw a freshwater stingray that someone had caught way up in the headwaters.

Colors are over-saturated on your picture, maybe something is off with your color management?

Thanks for your comment! Always welcome, good or bad. In this case I did it intentionally. Please think of painters - Van Gogh for example - their colors are often altered reality. Whatever enhances the effect they're trying to achieve. I'd use such colors if I was a painter and good enough to do it. To me photography is just painting with a different media.
