Here is one picture of 1000s I found when I typed in “Manuas”. Is this a fair choice? What do you think about this image?

I think this image depicts a very bad picture of Manaus becuase people looking at the image think that Manuas is a poor marsh area when there are probably more wealthy areas. I think the image makes Manaus look cheep and run down. From this picture alone i would not want to visit Manuas!
I am intererested you say that this particular picture presents a bad image. We tend to judge a place by a few carefully selected views which may not be truly accurate or representative. What I’d like to know is, why do think this photo presents a “bad image”, ie if you are looking ways to develop your writing, select a couple of examples that prove your point.
Can you direct me to a “better” image of Manaus?
I don’t believe that this picture presents a realistic view of what all of Manaus looks like. I think it shows a realistic picture of what some of the poorer parts look like – we can tell it is poor as the boats and houses are falling apart and alot of the land is not very nice, most of it is quite marshy and boggy. I think that there should also be a picture of wealthier parts of Manaus, see:
