Tried to duplicate a shot of the Wendella sign taken at night (November 22, 2021) but parked cars and pillars got in the way. Shot in Chicago, Illinois.

We took a boat tour several days ago to explore the landscape of limestone karst at the Trang An river complex. It was raining all day and there were only few tourists taking the ride. I took the above photo of the boats and the paddling ladies waiting for their turn to row. Each boat can take up to three passengers, is manually rowed, and has to navigate through a series of narrow caves going through the limestone karst. The boat ride took 1.5 hours to complete and our tour guide suggested a tip of 50,000 Vietnamese dong/boat, equivalent to 2 USD. Obviously we did not follow his well intended instruction.

Sometimes, black and white can do even more justice to the magnificence of a scene. This one taken in Wayanad, Kerala.

This was the prime time for fall colors in the Northwest Territories. We had a fantastic boat ride on a calm day which gave us gorgeous reflections. Taken on the Mackenzie River, which is the longest river system in Canada. It is 1025 miles long and runs through the Canadian north to the Beaufort Sea. It is 1-2 miles wide and if there are islands, it is 3-4 miles wide. Taken from Fort Providence, Northwest Territories, Canada. Another photo is in the comment box.

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
