Coracle

Thank you so much Maggie – I went out a bit on that little coracle – not for the faint hearted!!

Thank you so much – the browns and the blue were just begging to be photographed and I finally got a chance when I saw this coracle.

Thank you so much Mukesh – much appreciated!

I’m so happy to hear that! Glad you like it! Those tones just needed the Orton to hide the texture a bit and really pull this together!

LOL! You got me looking at my laptop in all sorts of angles!!
Thank you so much for the awesome comment and the fav my dear friend!

Thank you so much Nat! They might have beaten you to the comment, but I’m equally happy to hear that you like it too!

LOL – you heard right – they move forward by moving round and round in circles! I have no idea how they fish from them!!

Thank you so much for such a kind comment and a fav!

Thank you Kim – so glad you like it!

Cheers Monika!

Thanks Ursula – at the foot of the valley I was cursing that it had suddenly become cloudy. By the time I reached this spot the sunlight was beginning to get patchy again and so I guess I was lucky on the light!

Thank you so much Rebecca!

LOL!! That made me crack up!! But I guess one could lie down on the dirt if one wanted to!

Thank you so much Joanne!
I looked it up from Shelly’s link above and found that this wasn’t as common a boat as I had thought. It’s used across India by fishermen who earn their livelihood through fresh-water fishing (all have a cane frame but the waterproofing/casing changes from animal skin to leaves to whatever they can use).

:-))) Am so glad you feel that way.

Thanks Vicki! Not so lazy for me, though I see what you mean. I was in the middle of a long day-trek and took a little breather at this spot.

Hey thanks – you’re the third person to have told me so and I hadn’t seen it in that light myself (perhaps the fact that I was in the middle of a 15 mile hike had something to do with that).

Thank you so much Ann – you’re always so encouraging!

Cheers Scott – glad you like it!

Thanks for the fav too!!

Thanks Wendi – for the comment and the fav!
It is pretty strong – hold 3 grown ups. The man who owned this coracle took me for a little ride in it as I guess he thought I must have wanted to get into it, seeing that I was taking pics of what he uses everyday for his livelihood (moves supplies across the reservoir while fishing).

Thank you Sajal!

Thank you Hena – so glad you like this one!

Thank you so much Simone – sometimes simple is good is what I was taught.

Thanks Micklyn – as I said above – I was very lucky to get patchy sunlight as it was cloudy about 20 mins earlier.

Thank you so much Dean! Glad you think so. Truth be told, I’d been iffy about posting it here for quite a while!

Thank you so much!! :-)))))))

Thank you so much Sharon!

Hey – thanks for the comment and for dropping by!

Thank you!! I’m so happy you selected this particular one (I had been pretty unsure of it).

Thank you!! LOL – not a really fine boat – had me terrified for the brief time I was in it!! (it’s made of leaves and bamboo – not very inspiring!!)

Thank you so much Mel – means a lot to me!

Thank you so much Pamela! You are so kind!

Thank you so much Ingrid – love reading your comments!
As I said on the SP – I’ll very seriously think about it!

Thank you Lorilee – so glad you like it!

Thank you Tamsin!!

Cheers Clare!!

Thanks Paul – yeah this one just needed that little extra it got from the Orton effect.

Thank you so much Ron! Always love hearing from you.

Hey Ray – sorry for the delay in replying! Thank you for the great comment – really glad you like it!

Thank you so much Elana! Thanks for the fav too!!

Thank you so much Barbara! I live in a very colourful country – maybe that’s why I’m influenced by colour more often than not….
