Pirogues...

2007.04.14


... on the Maroni, between Guyana and Suriname

After Carley spoke about clarity I have to add that it's just an illusion... :)) The Maroni is a big river of 520km long, natural frontier between French Guyana and Suriname, south America. It got its name because it was crossed by the marroons (Cimarrones) escaping slavery. The water is never clear, but rather brown with the ground or mud in it....
Quite every one, who does not owe a boat, uses the pirogues to cross the river, it's real fun !

Carley Both are nice, but I find #1 stunning in its colors, composition, clarity..... I love the reflection of the clouds in the water. In #2 the clarity of the water is wonderful.

vollenda #1 makes it look really, really long. I like the V of the boats in #2. Great set!

chipotle they have pirogues in south louisiana, too. not nearly so long, though.

beautiful shots.

LisetteT Sur la 1, j'ai l'impression d'être sur le bord de l'eau à regarder partir les bateaux. Magnifiques photos comme toujours.

Mabi938 Magnifiques choix des angles.
One of french places in the world...

carmitage It looks pretty narrow and unstable to me !
I can see the pirogues are made of wood. Do they still produce
them that way ?
Je m'embarque volontiers pour un tour !
Un autre set qui fair rêver. Très belles images. J'adore
