Latest picture uploaded of my trip to a river (Krishna) and a dam (Nagarjuna Sagar) nearby.
Original picture -- a fisherman in his circular boat (not sure what it is called other than that)

Maddie, love both versions of the picture! That fellow is brave, too, to go in water in a tiny craft like that!![]()

The same boat being used for shade by these fishermen.

This is actually a very tiny coonch (some 2-3 cms long). I zoomed and took this picture. The crust was very fragile, more like the shell of a very tiny snail. There are very big size coonch as well with harder shell.

Great pictures, Maddie. My favorites are the one of the man floating on the round boat and of the shell. They're very well composed. I like both best in the pre-edited version.

I love the man in boat, both edited and unedited versions, the conch shell is simple and beautiful, I think I like the coloring of the unedited version better.
