Miles away from the safe place!
Like
every day, "The skipper" slowly maneuvered his small boat and parked
it safely touching the stairs of Ghat, keeping her floated on the steady flow
of muddy water. |
One one end, it was sheer silence. Though soiled, water was still capable of reflecting the bright sky and rusty texture of the boat. |
Meanwhile, the un-biased minds, quite unaware about what happening on either end, were enjoying the moment. The innocent and cheering smile is still there on the face at the end of the day. |
Interesting? then please have a look at similar photo story: Transportation in Rourkela.
Nice photo.

DeleteI remember I once had to cross a river to get to a village where I was there to attend a marriage, at first i was shocked they had to cross the river and that too by boat ! There was no other road route to get to the village.. this place across the Koel river seems just the same... Lovely pictures...telling a different story each time...
ReplyDeleteThere must be many similar stories happening across India. Thank you Najm for sharing yours. Welcome to blog :-)

DeleteApart from the issues relating to hurdles in daily communication by boats, I must say boats are very photogenic subject, aren't they? :-)
ReplyDeleteYes indeed Anunoy. Going one step ahead, every object is photogenic. We need right light :-)
DeleteThe pictures are just amazing this the backyard to me I grew up clicking pictures of this place. This place always provided the amount of serenity I need. Talking about the bridge they do make a bamboo bridge while river is dry but as soon as the first shower of monsoon arrives they deconstruct it .Some of my pictures can be found on https://500px.com/paritoshpradhan
