I know, I saw your picture.   ;)  That how I knew it.

Here is Wikipedia on the Jangadas

A Jangada is a watercraft made of wood used by fishermen from the northern region of Brazil.

I've got a location for the Jangada shot:  (I'm not 100% sure though)  See below for the correct location!

But I'm not solid on it.  I can't make the trucks fit on that narrow beach.  And it's odd that (at that location) the boat would be headed out to the water yet it looks like it is inclined upward.   :duno:

But I can't find anything better.

Okay, now I've got a location for this shot.  Turns out those cranes are taller than I imagined and so they really are visible from 2.5 miles away!  Here is a daytime Panoramio shot from the same beach.

Teams will be directed to go to Praia de Iracema, Fortaleza.    :groan:   Corrected again on 9/3/08.      :groan:

That is absolutely amazing guys!  :jumpy: :jumpy:  Can't believe you could find that all from puddin's eagle eye spotting those crane's. :gj:

Is this the same beach though? ??? Looks wide enough... found a gazillion pic by googling praia Iracema, even surfing videos taken from a pier :lol:

Quote
When I first came to Fortaleza nearly 30 years ago, Iracema was on the very edge of the city — a place people came to enjoy the beach at the weekend. But now the city has engulfed it, spreading several miles along the coast, to the port of Mucuripe. Luxury tower-blocks and hotels stretch several streets back from the shore, though a small kernel of traditional houses with their red tiled roofs (including the one where I always stay) remain.
