A canoe ride down the Amazon River

The sun sets over the Peruvian Amazon as a local man guides me down the river. The calm water resembles glass reflecting the blue/orange sky and surrounding rainforest. The hand carved canoe has water slowly trickling through the hairline cracks. The music of the animals deep in the forest fills the air.
