[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken when I was at the botanical garden in an island at the middle of the Nile River. As I was taking pictures along the waterline I saw this boy paddling his boat in style! He was wearing the football colors of his country and paddling his own customized boat. If there is a sawed-off shot gun, then this is a sawed-off boat. Look closely at his paddles, just cast away plywood pieces! He is probably one of the happiest kid in Cairo because he has his own boat.

The mere mention of the name of the Nile evokes for modern man images of Pyramids, great temples, mastabas, desert,fantastic tales of mummies, and wondrous treasures. But the Nile represents life itself to the people of Egypt, ancient and modern. In fact, for thousands of years, the River has made life possible for hundreds of thousands of people and animals, and has shaped the culture we today are only beginning to truly understand.

Hello Andre,

This is an interesting boat!
I'm not sure I'd go far off the shore in that one, but of course when we were kids there wasn't much that held us back hehehe...
Well composed presentation with fine details!

Greetings,
Pablo -
