I wanted to portray the colours and character of the river, swirling around, drawing you in, just that, no more
" There are rocks and sandy beaches, often very steep, along the river which is low at this time of the year, and the jungle comes down to the high water mark, with villages just on the tree line usually, but sometimes shelters right down on the sandbanks. The locals have shallow long boats rather like rowing skiffs. They fish and trade, even pan for gold, up and down the river. Beyond the first line of trees are layers of hazy mountains, all covered with jungle, except where logging has taken place." World Tour Report
