Tanjiang River Houseboats Reflected

These are houseboats anchored on Tanjiang River as it runs through Kaiping. What makes these houseboats different is that they are made of concrete, not wood or steel.

I am back in Kaiping now; however the photo was taken just before Chinese New Year when auspicious red couplets were posted on entryways to homes everywhere (more on that topic a few days ago).

I'm linking with reflection seekers at Weekend Reflections.

The bridge behind them is the same one I showed at night all lit up here.

Huddled Pedal Boats

Xiamen, Fujian, 2009

Bright pedal boats glow brightly on a gray day. They huddle in the water in West Lake Park, waiting for the next fine day when squealing children and courting lovers would once again take them for pleasure trips.

Nicely reflected for Weekend Reflections.

Night Fishing Banca

Filipino fishermen use lights on their often brightly colored bancas (hand-made outrigger canoes) to attract the fish at night.
