Dugout 21
I can’t help but take more photos of dugout canoes when I revisited the riverbank of the Fly River in Kiunga, the site where I took most of the photos for the Dugout series (see Dugout 1 – 20). And so I’m extending that series and adding more photos through this post.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
What a beautiful, dramatic photo.

Super nice composition and colors. That light blue reflection by the post really shows how calm the water is.
