Excellent and interesting shot, fantastic perspective.
Graet picture and great information!
Fantastic shot!!
WOW cool shot!
Wondeful slice of life and Culture!
Fascinating!
Amazing! Just look at the size of this and the number of people who row it. The size of the oars for the ones standing is very interesting as it the great length of this boat. It must be fantastic to see it move in the river. I also should apologize for not answering your mail but I too have been so busy - and for a while I was not well. I'll write soon though.
