The little Indian town of Mandvi in the state of Gujarat at the border to Pakistan supplies the ports around the Arabian Sea with wooden boats. In the time of 20.000 unit container ships these old fashioned boats are an anachronism. The hulk of the ships is built from thick beams, mechanical tools do not go much further than electric drilling machines or chain saws and security measures are non-existent. Visitors are welcome and free to climb around in the construction sites. During a chat with one of the owners of the shipyard I even was offered tea from the tea wallah.
This is an image I took of the sunset a few days ago. This image doesn’t haven any extra editing done to it, this is just how vibrant the sky actually was! I’ve always loved the sunsets here in the Central Valley. Hope you enjoy!
Der November ist in Deutschland eigentlich ein nebliger, trüber Monat in dem es kalt und nass ist. Die Blätter sind von den Bäumen runter, der Wind pfeift durch die Strassen. Kurz gesagt, ein Wetter für Kuscheldecke und Couch. Normalerweise. So sah es am Montag auf unserer Runde durch den Wald aus.
November in Germany is actually a foggy, dreary month in which it is cold and wet. The leaves are off the trees, the wind whistles through the streets. In short, a weather for cuddly blanket and couch. Usually. That’s how it looked on Monday on our round through the forest.
