A perfect example of mixed crumpled/folded model. The boat is folded and the man crumpled. It is also an asymmetric model which introduces extra difficulty in the design. The boat comes from two corners of the paper, in theory it could be possible to make a color change. I may try it one day

CANOA
Un ejemplo perfecto de origami que mezcla el plegado con el arrugado. La canoa está plegada y el remero arrugado. Ser un modelo asimétrico también añade un punto extra de dificultad en el diseño. La canoa está plegada utilizando dos esquinas del papel de forma que sería teóricamente posible hacer un cambio de color. Puede que algún día lo intente.

go to work with a canoe
Canoe Safari.
Try using a single paddle on a 3 man canoe when you are on your own and trying to navigate tight turns and avoid branches and take photo's, lmao, all good fun.
I did actually crash a few times and got tangled in branches and twigs, also crashed into some people, lmao. Didn't capsize thank god. It was the best fun and I had a trail of ducks and swans behind me.
Next time I will try and concentrate more on the wildlife, lol
I saw this from the hostel room window. I ended up hanging out the window to take the photo before the car and trailer they were strapped to drove off! :o) I couldn't believe people had actually been canoeing? It was freezing!

Meh, not so much. This work of art by Nancy Rubins is on display in front of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and consists of 66 used aluminum boats, from canoes to jon boats and measures 60'x40'x40'. The piece is officially called Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Monochrome I, Built to Live Anywhere, at Home Here which, I find, quite long and boring.

I recently visited Lake Kaniere near Hokitika in New Zealand's South Island and found this hidden cove hidden around the corner at the end of the Canoe Cove walking track. Such a tranquil spot.

Day 32 [2-1-2016]
Finally emerged from the cave. I am back to classes and out of my room. It was so nice to taste fresh air again. Classes went pretty well too. My one real issue with my classes is that they are always during the sunset so I always miss seeing the beautiful sunset that I am so gifted to be right on the waterfront to see. While transitioning classrooms I took this quick picture of the setting sunlight shining through the windows of this small room with a large canoe in the middle of it. Random place for a canoe.
Can't wait to see what the next day brings!

The image depicts a Waka taua, a traditional Māori war canoe that exemplifies the rich craftsmanship and cultural significance of the Māori people. Waka taua were used by Māori tribes in New Zealand primarily for warfare, serving as a means to transport warriors to battle. They also symbolized prestige and tribal identity.
A defining feature of these canoes is the tauihu, the intricately carved prow located at the front of the vessel. These carvings often depicted ancestral figures, guardians, or symbolic patterns with profound spiritual meaning, representing the mana, or spiritual authority, of the canoe and its people. Equally significant is the taurapa, the elaborately carved stern at the back of the canoe. Like the tauihu, the carvings on the taurapa balanced the visual and spiritual weight of the canoe, adding to its ceremonial importance.
The carvings on Waka taua showcase the exceptional wood-carving skills of Māori artists, known as whakairo, with intricate designs that often symbolized genealogy, spiritual beliefs, and tribal narratives. These canoes were typically crafted from large tree trunks, such as tōtara, which were hollowed and shaped with precision using traditional tools. They were often adorned with lashings and decorative patterns, sometimes inlaid with paua (abalone shell) to enhance their visual appeal.
Waka taua were impressive in size, often reaching up to 30 meters in length and capable of carrying between 80 and 100 warriors, depending on the specific design and purpose. They were more than just a mode of transportation; they embodied the history, unity, and strength of the tribe. The launching of a Waka taua was a highly ceremonial event, accompanied by rituals to invoke protection and ensure success. This photo beautifully captures these cultural and historical elements, highlighting the intricate carvings of the tauihu and taurapa, along with the elegant shape and craftsmanship that make Waka taua iconic within Māori culture.
