Hello Chris, These boats are 'dragonboats', used at the dragonboat-festival, the 5th day of the 5th moon in the lunar calendar. The boats will bear dragon heads and tails in the holes at both ends. The painted scales at the sides are "dragon-scales". Each boat will have 20 paddlers, sitting side by side. The boats on the picture look quite battered, but still very nice to see them. Regards, Tonny

Hey Leszek, I like this picture with the morning mist. Gives an even more mystical feeling about the place. Nice. Cheers, Tonny

Welcome Sudipta, Nice photo, I like the bright colours on the boat. It is interesting to see that this boat is actually stitched together with thread. I have never seen something like that! Is the boat waterproof? Anyway, that is quite some craftsmanship. Nice to see these interesting details. Thanks. -Tonny

Nicely done with Ping'an village in the background. Nice colours of the woman. Only I have to correct you. This is not a Zhuang woman, but a woman of the Yao minority. Probably she is from one of the Yao villages close-by Ping'an, which is a Zhuang village surrounded by Yao villages. Anyway, the picture looks great! -Tonny

Hello Michel, This is an interesting picture of this tribe. I am surprised about the men's skin colour. I expected the PNG-tribes to have a darker skin, apparently I am wrong. The festival in Goroka must be amazing. Only pity the sky is too white in the picture. Thanks, Tonny.

Wow, this guy (woman?) looks really special. It must be great to visit such a festival. It makes me actually curious about the complete necklesses with all the shells, but to emphasize the head dress is worth it as well. Interesting.

Hey, I like your picture, very dynamic steering. It is interesting to read that the dragonboat legend of the Miao is different from the DuanWu legend involving Qu Yuan, where most drogonboat traditions refer to. Being a dragonboat paddler myself I would definitely be interested in joining the Miao celebration. Cheers, Tonny

Beautiful shot of the 'driegang'! Several times a week I drive along these windmills, but very seldom they look so mystical as in this capture. Very nice.

Hello Jean Jacques, I like the colours of the towers, the yellows and greys. The picture looks almost more like a painting than a picture. Very nice. Regards, Tonny
