boat in lake Volvi

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.

As it was a very hot afternoon, being out on the high seas may have been a lot of fun to cool everyone down.

Boats docked in the harbor, as if waiting, their silhouettes silhouetted against the sky.

The sea and boats are associated with freedom and adventure, the possibility of exploring, of going far, of discovering new things.

Yellow Rowboat, Puerto Chacabuco, Chile.

Puerto Chacabuco is a Chilean town in Aysén commune. Administratively it belongs to Aysén Province in Aysén Region and is located at the head of Aysen Fjord. It is the main port of the region and port of call for ships sailing to the Laguna San Rafael National Park. Before the great burnings of the Patagonian forests and the eruption of Mount Hudson volcano in 1991 Puerto Aisén was the main port in the Aisén Fjord, but the ashes and earth erotion decreased the navegability of Aisén River and the port had to be mover further to the coast were Puerto Chacabuco now stands.

I placed the boat on a windowsill with natural light coming from the right and placed a a sheet of transparent blue plastic behind to give the effect of water.

A top-down view of some flower boxes and boats tied up at a pier in Monterey Harbor...seen on a California vacation a few years ago. And there's a fence here too.
