Photographer's Note
Srinagar est célèbre pour ses houseboats, sur le lac Dal, des bateaux d'habitation à l'architecture tout à fait caractéristique, souvent en bois de santal.
Ces bateaux cohabitent avec les shikaras, de petites embarcations de diverses tailles et utilisées à diverses fonctions. Comme les gondoles à Venise, elles sont un symbole culturel du Cachemire
Certaines sont utilisées pour la pêche, le ramassage des fleurs et graines de lotus, innombrables sur le lac Dal. D'autres sont utilisées pour promener les touristes ou par des marchands qui accostent les houseboats et viennent y vendre fleurs ou artisanat local
Srinagar is famous for its houseboats on Dal lake, of very characteristic architecture and often in sandal wood
They cohabitate with the shikaras, a type of wooden boats of varied sizes and used for multiple purposes, including transportation of people. Drivers use oars having a unique spade-shaped bottom to row the shikara. Like the Venetian gondolas, they are a cultural symbol of Kashmir. Some shikaras are still used for fishing, harvesting aquatic vegetation (usually for fodder), and transport in the deeper parts of Dal Lake, while most are covered with tarpaulins and are used by tourists. Some are used as floating homes by poor people. Some others are used by merchants who moor to the houseboats and sell to tourists their flowers and handicrafts

Another interesting shot from this wonderful place Patrick. I really shall have to make a plan and visit the Lake one day. What a clever POV with both boat and stairs placed on the diagonal. The design elements of both the fret-worked wood and the boat packed with colourful blooms are super and so exotic looking. I hope you purchased a bunch of flowers! Warm regards Rosemary

a similar perspective to the earlier image on dal lake, although I prefer the other, this works really well too, the boat and the stairs taking the two diagonals.

Salut Patrick!
Haa, je l'aime bien celle-là! Le POV est malin, très dynamique, avec, en plus, les couleurs des fleurs qui déchirent, dans la shikara! Une ambiance qui respire la gaieté, ce qui fait plaisir car c'est autre chose que le Srinagar sous haute tension, avec les militaires en armes et le couvre-feu qu'on m'avait décrit... !

Ciao dear Patrick,
fantastic and genial POV, a picture composed in a curious way, but surely creative. The quality is superb, especially the perfect sharpness and the vividness of the colors. Very important is the presence of the man that enriches the image. Excellent work, BRAVO!
Ciao, have a nice Friday!

oh i love the lines, taking me back to the surreal experience of spending nights in the houseboat, the water gently lashing against the support under the boat gives a very unearthly feel when your head hits the pillow, isnt it ?
