A recent trip to the Pantanal region of Brazil provided some fabulous wildlife photo opportunities. Today a brief review of some of my many pictures (see the slideshow on the home page for some more) from this region. At the time of posting, I’m still on the road with limited computer/internet access so, a more substantial update will occur in a couple of weeks time. ~KD.
In ancient times these pyramids were covered in polished white limestone and would have been dazzling, reflecting the sunlight. Over the years the limestone has weathered away, been broken/damaged by earthquakes, or deliberately removed.
