Photographer's Note
‘Pokhara - A long way ... to the boat with the roof’
More colourful boats on Phewa Lake near Pokhara.
The lake is located at an altitude of 742 metres above sea level and it covers an area of about 4,43 km2.
While Kathmandu is located at 1.350 metres, the Lakeside district of Pokhara is about 600 metres lower.
As a result, it’s much warmer there than in Kathmandu Valley and in November I enjoyed summer temperatures (where the evenings in Kathmandu can be chilly).

Hello Paul,
I was preparing a trip to Pokhara in 1972, but then I received a message that I had been granted a permit to go to Sikkim, so I changed my plans. I wonder what Pokhara would have looked like then. I doubt there would have been so many colourful boats waiting for tourists. Today's three photos are all very bright, and especially the main one has e very beautiful composition with the distant mountains. The many boats indicate a high level of tourism, but I certainly prefer crowds of boats to crowds of tourists.
Best regards,
Gert

Bonjour Paul ,
Je ne sais pas quelle composition je préfère des deux, peut être celle ci aux couleurs moins fortes , et le superbe contraste avec le fond gris . Ces barques multicolores constituent un sujet de choix pour le photographe .
Amicalement

Bonjour Paul,
L'étendue du lac donne de la profondeur à la composition. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails des bateaux et des montagnes. La lumière rehausse les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Goedemiddag Paul,
Het is een grote verzameling van al die kleine boten.
Ik denk de vrouw heeft blijkbaar geen schrik om zich te mis trappen.
Goed panorama samenstelling, goed gekleurd met perfecte diepte.
Heel mooi fotowerk, bedankt.
Prettige dag verder,
John.

Hello Paul,
I like this image, the combination of boats with different colors is eye-catching, the woman trying to pass from one boat to other is also an interesting element, well done,
Best regards,

Hello Paul,
I wonder what the group name for boats is!
This definitely feels like a herd or maybe, a shoal!
The seats give the impression of ribs, so these boats don't feel inanimate! They are snuggling together for companionship and warmth!
It's a lovely photograph, so full of vibrant colours and shapes, commanding attention against the greyish b/g of misty mountains!
What a surprise! Kit Kat adverts were not what I would have expected in the valleys of Nepal!
Thanks for sharing this,
Bev :-)

Hi Paul,
There's a lot of boats for a relatively small lake! And colours are fantastic. And indeed it is interesting to see this lady stepping from a boat to boat to reach one a bit further away.

Hallo Paul,
Het is een heel mooi gezicht zoals de vele ranke bootjes hier door elkaar in het kalme water drijven. Ze zorgen voor een aantrekkelijke foto met de voornamelijk rode en blauwe kleuren met hier en daar ook wat groen en geel. De bergen zijn een mooi achtergrond en verdwijnen mooi langzaam in de nevel.

Hello Paul, Fantastic view of these very colourful boats. here amusing observation how to move from one boat to the other to reach the goal. I like also the Workshop picture with the shore and the view of the mountains very much. Were these picture taken after the paragliding?
Best regards Malgo

You had the great opportunity to take this colorful photo, it looks rather like a collection of Mediterranean boats, but it is a mountain lake :)
really a great photo

Hallo Paul, these boats add vivid color to the mountain landscape. I ve rented one and used oars to navigate on the Fewa lake. It was a pleasant activity. The peaks appear majestically on the horizon. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hi Paul
i have been away from TE for 1 month, so there are many shots in your gallery for me to choose, i chose this - why not right?
these colorful boat scenes are so photogenic, and we don't have anything quite like it in our own respective countries. great how they take up the frame left to right, busy but in a good way. cheers
