There is no hurry..we shall get there someday.
A peaceful scene along a lush riverbank
of the Nile with a vibrant landscape.
A small fishing canoe with two people adds a sense of scale and human presence to the vast natural setting.
The river acts as a strong leading line, guiding the viewer's eye toward the opposite bank and the small boat with two occupants. The horizon line sits roughly on the upper third of the image, adhering to the rule of thirds. A tall palm tree on the right provides a strong vertical element, balancing the horizontal expanse.
The primary subjects are the natural environment: the blue water, the dense, lush vegetation on the riverbank, and the prominent palm tree.
The photograph benefits from bright, natural daylight, resulting in high contrast and saturated colors. The vivid greens of the foliage and the deep blues of the water create a visually appealing contrast that emphasizes the tropical or subtropical environment.
The clear sky and calm water contribute to a serene and tranquil atmosphere, suggesting a peaceful moment in a natural, untouched setting.

Brown's Rowing Boats - next to Elvet Bridge. The nightly tie up in progress.
Please see my other Photographs at: www.jamespdeans.co.uk
Threave Castle, Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway. The forecast for this morning was mist, anyone who follows my photography will know that I like nothing better than a good bit of mist. Unfortunately the mist wasn't close enough to the castle, so I decided to see what sunrise brought. The is not always the ideal location for sunrise, (its behind you), but if you have the right clouds you might be lucky, but what you will definately always get is that point where the sun comes over the hill behind you and lights up the castle perfectly.
A further development of our old Viking boats.
Barges in Norway are boats that are usually between 7 and 15 feet long and have one or two pairs of oars, but large barges with both decks and deep keels are known, also from other countries. The Skagerrak area is perceived as the core area for the barges, and here the normal size is usually 12-15 feet, but there have been examples of 20 feet. However, they have spread to the whole country, and are also used in large parts of the world elsewhere, many places under the name 'Norwegian barge' (but this does not mean that all barge-shaped boats in the world were originally imported from Norway!)
The barge, like all other Norwegian rowing boats, is clinker-built (see clinker-built boats) by board. Typical of barges is that they lack keel; the bottom is therefore as round as the mirrors, and where the keel sits on other boats, the barge has a flat bottom table. But it is usually nailed to a small keel fin at the back of the bottom table, and the barge will be a good sailor if it gets a deeper keel put on. They are widest and deepest slightly behind the middle.
The barge is easy to row and very easy to turn, and it is therefore nice to turn forward in convoluted waters. But even though it has a certain seaworthiness, it does not do well against the sea with the "bowl" shape and the mirror across the front. When standing in it, especially in the "snout", it can be very unstable and difficult to keep the balance in.
In addition to being an all-possible boat, barges were also used in the past as a ship's boat on larger schooners and ships. Today, they are also used as a motorboat with an outboard motor mounted on the transom, which has often had an extra mounting plate fitted.
In Østfold, the word oak or oak is used for barge. This has a connection back to the log boat which could be a hollowed oak log.
The Holmsbu frame from Buskerud is the most advanced, more elongated and has a beautiful spring. It is also the most popular type also known as «Norwegian barges».
In Nordhordland, the term 'ferry' is used on a barge with a fairly large mirror in front
Around Trondheimsfjorden, the barge is called skeis.
At Hitra, the name kjoks is also used for barges.
In Sørlandet, the barge of the fisherman Markus in the novel Kilden, according to the author Gabriel Scott, is completely flat-bottomed and with vertical sides, and thus in reality a flat boat, with a capacity for two targets and a rower.
Bowness-on-Windermere is a town in South Lakeland, Cumbria, England. Due to its position on the banks of Windermere, the town has become a tourist honeypot. Although their mutual growth has caused them to become one large settlement, the town is distinct from the town of Windermere as the two still have distinguishable town centres. Historically part of Westmorland, in 2012, Bowness was one of the official stop off points for the Olympic torch before it made its way to the Olympic Games opening ceremony.

ENG: Summer holiday impressions. ☻
The big mountain called "Säuling" in the background is the landmark of the region. For a few days we stopped in Füssen, directly at the German-Austrian border. And since the days were very very warm, we also spent quite a long time at the Hopfensee and could enjoy this wonderful sunset.
Hopfen am See is a district of the Bavarian town of Füssen in the Swabian district of Ostallgäu in Germany and almost a stone's throw from Austria. The air and Kneipp spa, which is characterized by tourism, is located on the northern shore of the Hopfensee about four kilometers northwest of Füssen and offers a beautiful view towards the Alps.

GER: Sommer Urlaubs Impressionen. ☻
Der große Berg Namens „Säuling“ im Hintergrund ist das Wahrzeichen der Region. Ein paar Tage lang hatten wir Stopp in Füssen gemacht, direkt an der deutsch-österreichischen Grenze. Und da die Tage sehr sehr warm waren, sind wir auch ziemlich lange am Hopfensee gewesen und konnten diesen wunderbaren Sonnenuntergang genießen.
Hopfen am See ist ein Stadtteil der bayerischen Stadt Füssen im schwäbischen Landkreis Ostallgäu in Deutschland und fast einen Steinwurf von Österreich entfernt. Der vom Tourismus geprägte Luft- und Kneippkurort liegt am Nordufer des Hopfensees etwa vier Kilometer nordwestlich von Füssen und bietet einen wunderschönen Blick in Richtung der Alpen.
This big, beautiful, old wooden rowing boat seemed a little out of place here (but there was a lake nearby).
Saltash (Cornish: Essa) is a town in the south east of Cornwall, facing Plymouth over the River Tamar and is known as "the gateway to Cornwall". As the Tamar is met the river Tavy, the estuary widens considerably. This is the location of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge, which takes the railway line across the River Tamar. Alongside it is the Tamar Bridge, a toll bridge carrying the A38 trunk road. Situated on the west side of the river both to the north and the south of the bridges are the moorings of the Saltash Sailing Club.
Row your boat gently
Life is not a race
Row with people, not against, ahead or behind them.
Just go with the flow of life.
Gently down the stream, even though you are working hard and fast in life, you should try not to miss the beautiful and wonderful moments.
Row your boat with love and peace
A reminder to embrace life’s journey with joy and tranquility, recognizing that existence is temporary and should be appreciated in the moment.
This is the iconic view from the castle to the railway viaduct over the River Nidd in Knaresborough with the viaduct connecting Knaresborough to Harrogate
The original viaduct collapsed as it was almost completed, it collapsed into the River Nidd on 11 March 1848 A replacement viaduct was opened on 1 October 1851 costing £9,803,and was constructed with castellated walls and piers to blend in with the ruined walls of Knaresborough Castle
Life on the river looks quiet with just a lone rower
Grey, overcast days = welcome relief from this humidity :))

Rhyl, Denbighshire, North Wales.
Rhyl Coordinates..... 53.321°N 3.480°W
Rhyl is a seaside resort and community in the Welsh county of Denbighshire. It lies within the historic boundaries of Flintshire, on the north-east coast of Wales at the mouth of the River Clwyd (Welsh: Afon Clwyd). To the west is the suburb of Kinmel Bay and the resort of Towyn beyond, to the east Prestatyn, and to the south Rhuddlan.
Rhyl Harbour is located on the spectacular North Wales Coast and has undergone a dramatic refurbishment which has hugely improved the facilities on offer. The original timber yard which was used by sailing ships up until the Second World War, has been redeveloped and now offers storage for over 150 boats.
A new 65 metre launching slipway, pontoons and quay walls have also been installed as part of the redevelopment. The harbour now offers a range of fore and aft moorings and pontoon berths. Access from the slipway is available 2.5 hours either side of high water.

Europe, Spain, Andalusia, Sevilla, Plaza d'Espana, Boats, People (uncut)
Notwithstanding the comprehensive renovation of the Plaza d´Espana edifice and its canal and water supply, there was presumably a porblem with the water level of the wonderful Plaza d'Espana.
It was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is a landmark example of Regionalist architecture, mixing elements of the Baroque -, Renaissance - and Moorish (neo-Mudéjar) revival styles of Spanish architecture. It was designed by Aníbal González. Currently a military museum and government offces are housed here.
This is number 22 of the new Sevilla album and 110 of Adventures in chaos.
