Daily photos 3rd year

At the Daily Gallery one picture, preferably taken that day; is shared with others. While that is difficult to follow (shooting everyday) I have been putting up a picture everyday and this is my THIRD year. It's been an enjoyable time viewing pictures of other members and learning new techniques and customs from different places. I think this is the best way to travel to places while sitting at home, and also making friends on the way! It has been a pleasure sharing my pictures and I thank all of you for taking the time to comment on my pictures. Earlier galleries: First year - Second year - Critiques welcome!

    Great shot Harsh - as ever, such a lot of interesting detail. I wouldn't like to be steering one of those boats - looks very hectic!

    Great capture Hershy, excellent perspective. I had the same question as Art.

    Wonderful image and fascinating information. Great vantage point. I'm confused though. It was built in 1911 but not opened until 1924?
