The path to an oasis of peace... bonus trip photo: lone boat

Right next to the Central train station, with thousands of people moving about daily, there is this oasis of peace, with a fountain, trees,... just some 50m away, the rush hour and people are bustling to get to work, from work, go shopping.....

The bonus trip photo for the day is a boat in the middle of the sea... again in the sunset. Local fishermen use tiny boats to catch some fish for themselves or if the weather doesn't permit them to use larger boats. It is also quite a popular boat for those who have a holiday house and like to fish, but don't want to pay huge amount of money for a boat in a marine, or even pay much attention to maintaining the boat:

    gorgeous images. your talent is wonderful to enjoy. Thanks for your comments on my site about the photos from my photography tour to Vermillion Cliffs and Slot Canyons. I have many more coming up and the slot canyon photos are truly amazing. It was quite a trip.

    The blurring effect accentuates the calm park.

    Oh, and the second one... I wish it would be summer :) I like summer sunsets.

    The sad thing about the first image is that there are so few people enjoying the fountain and its surrounds. Just those few on the right. and even they seem to be seated rather like upright statues.

    The second image emphasises the grandness of nature and the smallness of man. How dare we tinker with nature and put our planet in peril.

    The little green oasis is wonderful but the bonus shot is super! What a light!

    Thanks all! But I have to admit - it's incredibly easy taking photos such as the second one when you're there - no special settings, I just turned the flash off.

    @ Julie - if you look closely, almost every single bench is taken. However, the shot is taken in the middle of the work week, during the rush hour, which means majority of people try to do million things at once, and none of those things are relaxing. Sad, but understandable... :)

    I really like your oasis of peace. This place looks enchanted, the blur perfectly conveys the seclusion of the park; like there is nothing you can hear except the gentle sound of the fountain.
