Several weeks later and still the same subject? Well, I don't seem to find another easy one these days. Short trip to the East, since after all it is Easter break, isn't it.
Just before Good Friday, it seems every fishing boat in the country is working. We must be eating a lot of fish this season. Activity peaked in Piriapolis harbor, where smaller boats are moored tight against each other.
Larger boats were also tightly moored side by side. In fact, I found a boat from Buceo harbor that had moved to Piriapolis for the peak season. The owner told me that there were not many fish around lately. He was planning to go to Jose Ignacio harbor, further East, before coming back to Montevideo for the winter.
A few miles East, the yacht harbor in Punta del Este seems located in a different world. Full of well-dressed tourists. No fishing boats, no smell. This harbor is for pleasure, rest and relaxation.

Nice results from the Vito II; that is definitely a subject it knows how to handle. I may take mine along when we head out to San Francisco in a couple weeks.
ReplyDeleteMike, thanks. Can't wait to see what you get in San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteOne of my little secrets with this subject is using 1/100 or faster shutter speed. It does affect the texture in the water and the structure of the reflections.
