I asked Segundo, my Peruvian guide, to show me the jewels of his forest, particularly the trees targeted by illegal loggers. He stopped on our way to show me a specimen of the tallest of Amazonia, the millenial Ceiba, king of all trees. I had in mind while adjusting my camera what Napoleon said to his soldiers in front of the Pyramids: “Forty centuries look down on us”. / Charles Mordret @canadienerrant
