Childhood by the mighty Amazon
A group of young boys play by the Amazon River in a small traditional community in Brazilian Amazonia. As the sun was setting, these children enjoyed a refreshing swim in the river, which also included jumping off of whatever they could climb. While this happened, a rainbow formed in the background, turning an already idyllic scene into something out of a fantasy novel.
