Amazon: From the Floodplains to the Clouds is photographer Alex Webb's compelling documentation of a voyage through the worlds of those who live along this immense waterway. The photographs reproduce a trip from the enormous Amazon delta in Brazil through Colombia to the icy ponds and streams by the slopes of Mount Mismi in Peru - the source of the river. Indigenous traditions and European influences intermingle and thrive throughout these countries. The lowlands are a diverse region of backwater ports and river villages overgrown into ramshackle towns and cities, as well as places of fantastic festivals, highlighted by costumes and parades. The Peruvian highlands are a world of harsh rock, bleak and bitter weather, and ongoing political strife.
