Loch Harray
This is our 3rd holiday on Orkney, and the 3rd time that we’ve visited the Ring of Brodgar.
By the side of the car park is the beautiful Loch Harray. Amongst the reeds was this little boat, nestling in the reeds.
I actually went to see if this boat was there that I took a photo of in April 2018… it looked abandoned to me…

When we were at Marazion last week I saw this gorgeous boat at anchor just off of St Michael's Mount.
I flew the drone overhead and got a few shots of it, the colour of the water looked gorgeous!
I'd love a big sailing boat like this, but I'm still waiting for that lottery win before I can afford one!
The little boats of Newfoundland are great to photograph, but the fishers who run them are struggling as income from fishing is too low to sustain even the low standard of living they are accustomed to. The self-reliance that was once a mainstay of outport life, when a person could combine fishing, farming, wood cutting and other forms of seasonal work to build a balanced life are numbered, and there is pressure to beach the little boats so that larger inshore boats can make a go of it. What a pity!

Getting around on Tonle Sap. The lake is just SE of Siem Reap in Cambodia. There’s a pretty large class distinction between the people living in house boats and those in the stilted homes on the shores of the lake. The villagers living in floating houses on the lake are generally those of Vietnamese descent who are not allowed to own land. These people are basically discriminated against because they can’t prove their Cambodian birth and have no ID cards. Because of this, their living standards are significantly lower than the villagers living in stilted houses who are allowed to own land and farm to supplement their income during the dry season.
I took the ferry to an island called Cheung Chau and it had boats everywhere!

“Cities were always like people, showing their varying personalities to the traveler. Depending on the city and on the traveler, there might begin a mutual love, or dislike, friendship, or enmity. Where one city will rise a certain individual to glory, it will destroy another who is not suited to its personality. Only through travel can we know where we belong or not, where we are loved and where we are rejected.” - Roman Payne
