Featured here is an audiovisual recording I made of a Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine (TAPM) ceremony in the Ecuadorian rain forest set to the entrancing ceremonial chanting of the Quichua shaman, Don Luis. The prominent river in the video is the Jatanyaku, flowing past La Laguna Azul, which is usually a bright light blue, but because of the rain the blue was overrun with a chocolate milk-like Amazonian brown.

The golden Eurotram rolling over Porto's UNESCO-recognized double-deck double arch bridge (built in 1877 by Teofilo Seyrig, who was Eiffel's partner (which elegantly explains the resemblance)) known as Ponte Dom Luis I, looks an awful lot like the golden Guy Manuel Daft Punk helmet. But I digress.

This gallery of Porto photos, or photos of Porto, if you'd rather, is a continuation of yesterday's Summer in Lisboa post. Enjoy these Porto perspectives prominently featuring an unforgettable Saturday evening sunset over the Douro River, artful tinned sardine packaging, bottles of the good stuff (extra virgin Portuguese olive oil), and the colorfully charming facades of the ancient city.
