Fishing boats in the sheltered lagoon of the tranquil village of Santa Cruz Cabralia on the Bahia coast. I haven’t read up on the Brazilian coastal fishery like I did on that of the Algarve, so I alas can only say that these boats are amongst the biggest types of the Santa Cruz Cabrilia fleet and that the local fishermen have organized themselves in a cooperation.
The town's tag is: “Berço da Civlição Brasileira” because on a hill overlooking the modern town are the remnants of one the oldest Portuguese colonial settlements in the country, founded by Pedro Alvares Cabral.

Hoje (Today) is the title of a recent album and track of beautiful Gal Costa from Bahia, released in 2005 on Trama It’s wonderfully relaxed, suave and sometimes sultry.
So today a picture/text combination to celebrate the coming of a warm and sunny spring weekend ;-).

PCS2 tech: cropped, got rid of the spots and smudges resulting from a verrry dirty sensor, altered the saturation, contrast, curves and levels, enhanced the colour- and luminosity edges and surfaces for the whole pic and some elements separately, USM-ed , added a frame and saved for the web.

Hallo Bert,

Zeer goede compositie met de verschillende boten op het strand, licht en schaduwen zijn mooi verdeeld en vormen samen een prachtig contrast op de bewolkte hemel in de achtergrond, goed gedaan Bert. Bedankt voor uw bezoek.

Prettig en zomers weekend gewenst, ja boven de 25 graden in België, nu momenteel 24.9° maar er komt een zeebries opzetten.
John.

Hi Bert,
What a beautiful composition you present us today!These fishing boats looks abandoned but there is a soul on the air.Lovely colours and light and amazing field of depth to the far sky with the white clouds.Very fine work my friend,

I wish you a very nice weekend,
Thomas

I love this photo Bert, I found it quite full of poetry, it could be the begining of a short story, specially with this clouds at the end of the shot, like a futile promess of adventure for this boats... Great colors as well.
Miguel

Beste Bert,
Erg fraaie foto genomen tijdens laag water. De zandbodem geeft een goed effect op de foto.
Ik vind de compositie erg mooi met de blauwe boot op de voorgrond.
De kleuren zijn hier super met het mooie licht. Goed werk.
Groet en goed weekeinde,
Harko

Hi Homer!
Light and colors are amazing here.Great shot,well composed with the boats in the lagoon at low tide, the small stipe of nice green sea at the horizon and this fantastic yellow tones of the sand.
Regards,Leo

Hi Bert, You made a nice trip here in Brazil. You saw something that I never saw, like this boats in a place withou water. I allways see this here in TE, but I never see this alive.

In my vocation I traveled to Porto Seguro, very close to Cabralia. What did you think about our beachs and nature?

Pretty colors here and good POV too.

Hugs
Andre

Hi Bert,
Superb lighting in this well composed shot. I like the rich hues and tones and the positioning of the boats, particularly the large old hull on the left. The dramatic clouds really enhance and you obtained an ideal exposure. Congrats on a real keeper.

Hi Bert
I love this one! this is so colorful and with a perfect blue sky, the boats are really good placed in the shot.
Good work
Harry

Excellent shot with a wonderful DOF thanks to f13. The size of the shadows indicate harsh light but there is no other evidence of this. The quality is impressive with wonderful vibrant colours and excellent sharpness.

Hello Bert
Very interesting and strange spotlight on the golden sand who gives a summer ambiance..
Vry nice colours.
Cheers.

Hi Bert
What an interesting scene with these colourful boats stranded on the nicely contrasting sand. The angle of the first one makes it pretty dynamic. The band of green sea creates a good separation between the land and sky.
Regards
Nikki

Cool light (thanks to the filter) and strong mood with these lonely boat, far from the water. Colors are great too. A soft compo, well realized.

Hoi Bert,
Prachtige foto met uitbundige, warme kleuren, genomen bij mooi zacht ligt.
Alles lijkt hier om te gaan vallen: niet alleen de boten op het zand, maar het is ook alsof de wolken in de zee gaan vallen. Dit maakt de compositie erg interessant.
Groeten,
Stef

Olá Bert,
Bela foto (a Bahia ajuda muito), acompanhada de um simpático e agradável texto.
Belas cores e ótima composição, inclusive pelo "cemitério" de outros barcos.
Grandes POV e DOF.
TFS

Voor vissersboten was ik altijd wel te vinden en deze, met de kleuren is ook weer een plaatje !
