Cigarette pursed in his lips, a recreational fisherman mends his net on a sandbar at the junction of the Rio Negro and Rio Solimões (Amazon) near Manaus, Brazil, Sunday, Jan. 8, 2006. He accused one of the rivers famous pink dolphins of tearing at the net to get at his catch. As the rainy season approaches, the sand playground will disappear under meters of water.
