Great shots Eduardo! Love #5, 17, 23, the old fisherman..well, actually it´s hard to pic a fav - they are all great! Why isn´t it an island anymore?

Nice shots :)

Thanks, KARSTEN. It's now connected to the continent, having become a peninsula, but it is still known as "island".

Wow, lots of wonderful shots here. I LOVE the birds, ibis perhaps? The older boats have so much character, not to mention the fisherman tending his nets. That is a brilliant shot of the fish! Excellent...

The fish docks are always full of color and life. great images, Eduardo. The beatiful birds are Egrets. There are several types of white egrets-- These guys have their breeding plumage. the larger one is the Great White Egret and he has the black feet. the one with the orange feet is the snowy egret.

Absolutely wonderful, I love the way you have captured these pictures both the fishermen and the Egrets and it looks so calm and peaceful!

Fantastic color !
Erich said at 3:03 a.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
Great scenes. Harbours fishing docks are always colourful and emotional places. Thanks for sharing and congrats for the wonderful shots!

Este tabblo ha llegado a un puerto mejor.
Wildthing said at 6:12 a.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
My favorite kind of tabblo. Terrific set, Eduardo. I especially like the suicidal fish in # 17, leaping up to be devoured by the egret:)
Buschinho said at 6:55 a.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
my favourite is the sea bird watching the fisherman, really great scenes !!!
I got a similar shot as No22 in Bahia :-)

"Jesus estar aqui"...¿¿¿Tarzán lo escribió...???
Esas garzas de cuellos modiglianescos le dan una levedad increíble a las fotos, además de una lectura vertical, casi mística... Así que volvemos al tema de Dios en este Tabblo...

Beautiful shots and a great tabblo, so many herons too
Chaitiamma said at 9:56 a.m. on Aug 4, 2009:

Brilliant job ! just love these amazing shots !
Moabjeeper said at 12:13 p.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
Great captures, especially the ibis(?).
Shenresi said at 12:53 p.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
wonderful moments, you captured here, Eduardo in a great coloured firework!!!
SnowWhite said at 2:04 p.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
Superb! Love the colours, the fishermen ( especially the man mending the net ) everything , the whole tabblo is a fav :)
EMA said at 3:05 p.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
Mais um belo trabalho Eduardo. Eu gosto especialmente das belas "egrets" Ficam maravilhosas quando o vento as "despenteia"! :)
Loes said at 5:05 p.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
What a nice catch!!
Eduardo.affonso said at 6:23 p.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
Gracias, NOE & JESUS. Thank you, LOES, LORRAINE, ANGELA, TEO, CHARLES, & HEIDI. I am sure you all would love to make a photo safari in this almost unknown part of Rio.

EDITE: Mesmo despenteadas, sempre acho as garças elegantes demais para frequentar esses ambientes...

ROBERT & NOREEN: These are egrets & great egrets (and one heron, I guess).

SETU: I've learnt a lot from you, my friend!

LILIANA: Quem dera a religião pudesse redimir todos os pecados que se cometem contra o idioma!

SOLANGE: O pobre peixe parece não ter agradado ao exigente paladar da garça (na cena, ela está devolvendo o coitado, tão morto quando estava ao ser fisgado).

ANDREAS: Have you already posted your Bahian pics? I don't remember seeing them.

MIKE: I don't think it was a suicidal fish, yet a masochist one who happened to find a sadistic egret.

RAINER: I, too, love harbours, sea shore, docks, ships, boats - particularly when they are already decayed, full of faded colors, rotten woods, broken nets...

CELIA: Yes, it was calm and peaceful, but the smell wasn't so nice...

LINDA: I didn't know you were an "egret expert!". I know there are some different types of egrets, but I can't identify them. I researched on the net and found snowy egrets with and without weird hair style (I thought some of these were just having a bad hair day...).
Lange said at 8:14 p.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
Quanta precisão voce está mais rápido que Trinity, fiquei mesmo na dúvida desta sequencia... quem comeu ou quem largou!!!!!
Rita.Mandarino said at 10:23 p.m. on Aug 4, 2009:
Ficou bem legal sua visão da Ilha da Conceição. Lindas fotos de um lugar absolutamente sem graça.
Lange said at 7:31 a.m. on Aug 5, 2009:
Voltei pra te dizer que a quarta foto é maravilhosa aquele espelho d"água ficou mesmo fantástico, sua especialidade...
EMA said at 11:44 a.m. on Aug 5, 2009:
Tem razão! No meio da confusão dos barcos elas parecem bastante deslocadas. Mas elas parecem não se preocupar com isso. :)
Ira said at 1:59 p.m. on Aug 5, 2009:
Majestic birds!
Liliana said at 3:55 p.m. on Aug 5, 2009:
¡Hay un Cristo da Conceiçao o estoy delirando...?
