Hi Gert!
You made my day with this nice image.It`s cold and raining here and you remember me at the wonderful time I had on Santo Antao.I was there about 2 weeks later than you.
A well composed image with the boats in the foreground of this little harbour.
Regards,Leo

Olá Gert!
Lovely photo with beautiful vivid colors (Africa!)
And the name of the boat - Pença bem - is very interesting...
Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Hi Gert!
Nice photo of boats and people. I agree with your note, but the title implies something wrong. There are a lot of places in North and South America closer to Santo Antão than New York.

Hi Gert,
I always love the colorful Cape Verdeian boats neatly lined on the beach waiting for another day of faithful service to their brave owners. Excellent details with clear strong colors.

hi gert,
colorful and crisp foto with an excellent POV to show these boats centrally and the people aptly placed to the left. it seems intruiging tho to see a tittle ("next stop, NY")..it is vague to decipher what you really meant by that. i haven't been to that part of the sphere to understand what it means literally or whatever that implies....!!

Hello Gert
There is a lot of detail with the colourful boats, men in conversation and the wild sea. Just looking to the horizon confirms how insignificant we each are. Tfs, Marlene

Hej Gert,
I wonder how I missed this colourful photo? probably because now it's in the Archive as it was posted some years ago.
IMHO, very nice composition and good mood - thanks to the colours :)
Warm greetings from Moscow (snowing here today)!

Dear Gert,
browsing the galleries of the Senior members is a rewarding affair and I am glad that I found this gem! It is a very beautiful impression with great qualities. It is especially the mood that makes this colorful image of the boats very attractive.
My compliments!
Warm regards
Harriet

Hi Gert
Une image bien composer avec les barques colorées en avant plan, l'agitation de la mer, le groupe de personnes est un plus a la composition
Belle soirée
