The ornate decor of the boats and then--fish sandwiches? What a great contrast! I also like the contrast in the first picture of the brilliant details of the boat and the misty pastels of the city in the background.
thanks for your kind comments everyone. you make my day.
Karen, yes, those are small restaurant boats along the dock. The freshly caught fish are grilled as soon as it gets to shore, and served in a half-loaf of bread with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions.
Bananaz, it's pretty eye-catching, isn't it? yup, it features an intricately carved sea serpent/sea dragon.

Wow, you had me at that first photo. I love the details of that boat.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the golden Dolphins are chasing the golden Serpent off the boat. Fantastic photo.
ReplyDeleteAre those restaurant boats? In the first picture, you caught a bird mid-flight as if the dragon is after it.

These are very beautiful floating restaurants. I like the gold ornamentation on these boats.
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty amazing
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm a bit late :-(
this reminds me of the floating pagoda festival in Phils, must be nice to ride and enjoy the views.
ReplyDelete"Istanbul"...
ReplyDeleteThe far-off sound of words is fascinating.
Your photography captures the atmosphere of the town.
The fresh green undulation of the top page is elegant.
Thank you.
