By the riverside again.

Sparkle

The sunlight on the water was fantastic this morning.

Sur L'Eau

Notice how close the boat is to the people. Normally, it wouldn't even be visible. But the water has risen so much... the current is very strong and carries a lot of foliage, amongst other things. The water is bluer... but also worrying.

Digue

With the monsoon, the river level has been rising a lot. That's probably why this boat and the line behind it (probably a dam or dyke) were to be seen on the river today.
PT: saturation, contrast.

Boat

Took a walk by the river just to take a picture cos I'm running out of ideas. I wanted to take a picture of a boat, but in a different way than usual. Hope I managed to do so here.
PT: lightness, contrast, slight saturation.

Crossover

Where the Tonle Sap meets the Mekong. SOOC.
The river has been going up a lot lately, it's not threatening for the moment, but we'll see how it goes. There was quite a bit of current and some tiny waves as well. The sky was wonderful.

Four In A Row

I thought they were funny, all together like that, like organ pipes. They were mesmerised by something. They stood like that for a few minutes. I think they give a good representation of elderly people travelling around SEA, enjoying their retirement. Makes a nice change from the old pervs you meet sometimes, a 20 year-old girl under each arm.
PS: contrast, lightness, saturation.

Back Bridge

I had ten minutes left for a daily shot. We were in an unusual place so I took the opportunity cos I knew we wouldn’t be going back there any time soon. It was so peaceful with the noise of the rushing water. And sometimes, in the distance, a very fast train. I really liked it.

PT: crop, hue. 

Ps: noticed while uploading that there had been a problem while saving and there was a bit square in the middle of the picture. I did my best to erase it, but it still looks ugly. I'm annoyed by this.

Solo/Duo

Went out for coffee and I saw those people through the window of the coffee place. I thought there was a funny contrast going on between the single guy on the left and the couple of the right. Then the guy standing underneath the tree also came and stood for several minutes looking at the couple. They pretended he wasn't there. It's pretty uncomfortable having someone stare at you like that. Can't even begin to imagine what he was thinking.

Pirogue

This morning, just after I got up, I went down to the riverside to take pictures of the boats. This one came out best. It's the first time I actually went out in a given spot just to take pictures.

River

The water was so blue today and the sky so clear. I had to take a picture. I liked this one the best, even if it's blurred. Or maybe because it is.

Riverside

Was eating on the balcony of the bakery and had this lovely view. Very Zen, isn't it?

By the River

Another picture of a monk - I just love those guys. The boat and river add a sensation of serenity, I think. Plus, I did well to take this pic - literally 30 seconds after I did, the monk got up and walked away!
I know it looks foggy and murky, but it was really dark and cloudy this afternoon.
Post-treatment: slight lightness and contrast added.
