This is a guy we found in the forest doing some biological research, he's NY biologist, came to venezuela some time ago, it was amazing for me how this people were so interested in my country, he told us a lot about the animals and flower we would find around, it was a good help. Learn a lot of how knowledge is able to be shared between any cultures, and how something that is so simple for me could be the holy grail for others.

This alligator had a funny story, there I was just walking so impressed for the colors of the flowers and some stones and then I stay still, totally freeze actually, finding myself at a creek with this small alligator taking a sunbath in front of me, the thing is I was not shocked by the presence of the animal but for the amazing textures I saw through the lens, not that I'm a brave jungle walker but I've seen many of this and actually cultivated some eggs on an ecologist travel. So, right after the picture was taken a friend yelled at me, that actually did scared me, he was mad for me getting so close but well what would be of an adventure without a little risk? isn't it?

Here is a piece of history, what you see is the old control tower of Calabozo's dam, today is almost like a symbolic toll for visitors who cross the long bridge to get the north entrance of the old town.
