Re: [MC74 and Friends] Re: week photo subject -- Ocean, lake, river, bathtub water :-)




Dear TNS,
What a beautiful and romantic picture!
I love its gorgeous colors, its composition, everything little details in the photo, the sunset, the palm trees, the little kites in the shape of the crescent moon here and there as if hanging on the wire line, the shadowy boat.

 
Dear fellows pho' nhom en herbe and forum friends,
here is my entry for this week theme. I took this picture on a trip to an ancient water town in China, called Zhou Zhuang, about 60 km from Shanghai. Zhou Zhuang has lots of little bridges  and thus is often called Venice of China (too bad it was also as touristy as Venice). I saw these little boats anchored near the entrance of the town, and loved the colors of the boats, their roofs, the water so much that I had to stop and take a picture.

  1. Hello Mai Chau

    Such picturesque, seductive, imagery of the floating boats, in their sleepy, dreamy states, safely anchored in the shadow of Venice of the East

    A soothing spectacle for the eyes, putting the viewer's mind at ease, all conveyed, brought about by the crystal clear reflection of lining trees on
    the water, a delicate display of serene colors, azure, emerald, purple
    fitting together, in complete harmony

    In brief, a "splendor on the waterfront" of sort, in an ancient water town in China, that goes by the name of Zhou Zhuang
