In the above picture, taken from a cruise boat on Paranaguá Bay, Brazil, islands and mountains display near-to-far colors that shade from olive green to misty blue, although the type of vegetation growing on their respective surfaces is quite similar, all belonging to Atlantic Forests ecosystem. Just left of the out-of-focus boat knot, we see Pico Paraná, the highest mountain in Southern Brazil (6,158 ft or 1,877 m), which belongs to Serra do Mar (meaning Sea Ridge), dating from the Tertiary geological period and composed of granite and gneiss. Picture taken on August 1, 2015.
