The Meeting of the Waters in Manaus is a natural phenomenon where the dark colored waters of the Rio Negro (looks like tea or coca cola without suspended particles) meets the lighter, sandy-colored waters of the Solimões River (which flows to the Amazon), flowing side by side without immediately mixing for several kilometers, creating a stunning visual contrast. This occurs due to differences in temperature, speed, and density between the two rivers.
Even though we could see it, it helped when a big boat cut through across it. The waters moved in relation to each other but still didn’t mix.
Up close where the boat passed through. Even though the water moved in relation to each other, it still didn’t mix.

So cool Louise! I love the pictures.
