Photographer's Note
Le lac Inle s'ιtend sur 22 km de long et 11 de large, ΰ 875 m d'altitude. On y rencontre des pκcheurs Intha, habitants des 17 villages contruits sur pilotis. Ils sont rιputιs pour faire avancer leurs bateaux ΰ fond plat en se tenant debout sur une jambe, l'autre enserrant une pagaie, ainsi ils ont les mains libres pour utiliser les nasses qu'ils enfoncent lentement sous l'eau transparente et peu profonde ΰ l'endroit oω ils ont repιrι le poisson. Puis ΰ l'aide d'un genre de trident ils piquent dans la nasse afin de faire remonter le poisson qui se trouve pris au piθge.
The people of Inle Lake (called Intha), some 70,000 of them, live in four cities bordering the lake, in numerous small villages along the lake's shores, and on the lake itself.
Most transportation on the lake is traditionally by small boats, or by somewhat larger boats fitted with outboard motors. Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved for the reason that the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men. Women row in the customary style, using the oar with their hands, sitting cross legged at the stern.

Bonjour Patrick,
Nice shot of silhouetted fishermen with their small boats going about their daily chores. Beautiful colours and soft silky smooth texture on the water. Good information about the unique rowing style. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Patrick,
You took these picture on a very well moment, when the sun stands exactly above the mountains.
The two fishers boats and three men are a nice contrast.
A splendid panoramic view about these area, in high quality made.
Excellent composition, nice presentation.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice day,

Bonjour Pierre,
Il y a quelque chose de trθs romantique dans cette superbe photo d'atmosphθre. J'aime beaucoup le mouvement de la dame dans la barque de droite, comme si elle faisait une offrande.

Hi Patrick
Awesome sunset enhanced by nicely spread silhouetted canoes. It's a striking nature beauty so timely shot full of warm golden glow when the fire ball just about setting behind the distant hills. Beauty of nature wonder and tranquility finely registered and your usual skill in handling the exposure is appreciated, Congrats.
Best regards

Bonsoir Patrick,
Encore une belle photo de ce lac que je vais finir par connaξtre par coeur ΰ force d'en voir des photos sur internet ! Beau jeu des ombres sous ce soleil couchant. L'ambiance lumineuse est tout simplement superbe, cette lumiθre dorιe apporte beaucoup de paix ΰ l'image. Note intιressante qui explique la position curieuse mais photogιnique de ces pκcheurs.
Bonne soirιe,
Olivier

Le format panoramique convient idιalement ΰ cette photo.
Les couleurs, douces, et ce soleil ΰ la limite des montagnes du fond, donnent une atmosphθre de quiιtude trθs apprιciable.

Salut Patrick!
Good luminosity with excellent graphic elements and silhouettes in this superb sunset. The orange and black colors go well together. I like the reflections in the water too. The wide angled panoramic crop works well here. Bon weekend!

Hi Patrick!
Good moment for a few shots, you captured some very nice silhouettes! I like the poses and the colours. When I was there it was the Buddha's feast, so I saw almost no fishermen, they were all in the temples celebrating.
