A young man stares out at the foggy dawn as the blue turns to light in Brasil's Amazon River aboard the Itaberaba I on its journey from Tabatinga to Manaus. 2015 : : : #travel #documentary #photography #DocumentaryPhotography #photojournalism #FineArt #sunrise #fog #mist #jungle #JungleLife #MyNomadicLife #Brasil #Amazonas #BlueHour #theprintswap #myfeatureshoot

Experts believe the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta has lost an estimated 92% of its glaciers in the past 150 years and its remaining glacial ice is melting at the fastest rate in the country. It now has less ice than El Cocuy and the Nevados del Ruiz and Huila, which are all part of the Andes mountain range. The Cristobal Colón Peak is hidden behind the clouds in this photo, but what little snow is left could disappear in a few years. 2018 : : : #travel #documentary #photography #DocumentaryPhotography #photojournalism #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #landscape #LandscapePhotography #mountains #MountainLife #tropical #wanderlust #BlueHour #ClimateChange #reportage #RealismoMágico

It is estimated that Colombia has lost over 57% of its glaciers in the past 30 years and will lose the remaining six snow-capped mountains by 2050. The Cristobal Colón Peak, hidden behind the clouds in this photo, is the highest mountain in the country and a sacred place to the local indigenous people. 2018 : : : #travel #documentary #photography #DocumentaryPhotography #photojournalism #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #jungle #mountains #JungleLife #MountainLife #beach #BeachLife #MyNomadicLife #Colombia #SierraNevada #SantaMarta #Caribbean #Palomino #tourism #reportage #RealismoMágico #BlueHour #ClimateChange

The Cristobal Colón Peak is the highest mountain in Colombia, stretching more than 5,700 meters above the Caribbean Sea. It remained hidden behind the clouds on the morning I took these photos, but on a clear day, you can see its snowy peak hovering over the lush jungles of the lower Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. 2018 : : : #travel #documentary #photography #DocumentaryPhotography #photojournalism #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #jungle #mountains #JungleLife #MountainLife #beach #BeachLife #river #MyNomadicLife #SierraNevada #Palomino #tropical #wanderlust #reportage #RealismoMágico

The open coastline in Palomino means there are strong currents and waves throughout most of the year, but the rainy season brings an unusual calm to the sea, allowing swimmers to enjoy the usually rough waters where only surfers can go. 2018 : : : #travel #documentary #photography #DocumentaryPhotography #photojournalism #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #ocean #sea #beach #BeachLife #MyNomadicLife #Colombia #SierraNevada #SantaMarta #Caribbean #Palomino #tourism #reportage #RealismoMágico #sunrise #BlueHour

Despite the growth of the town due to the exponential rise in tourism, fishermen in Palomino still use traditional methods, paddling out of the river in their canoes at dawn when the horizon is still lost in the blue haze of night. 2018 : : : #travel #documentary #photography #DocumentaryPhotography #photojournalism #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #landscape #LandscapePhotography #sunrise #amanecer #beach #BeachLife #MyNomadicLife #Colombia #Caribbean #SantaMarta #Palomino #Guajira #ocean #fisherman #fishing #dawn #BlueHour #blue #sea #tropical #tourism #reportage #RealismoMágico
