You can't get much more peaceful than just floating around the rice fields in your homemade boat fishing.
This was during a hot afternoon, so the light was not perfect by any means but I thought it was such a tranquil scene I had to attempt to capture it.

I like this vibe Andy Smith. I believe the man on the boat must be a very happy man, even if he is not richest in the world. I can see he is enjoying his time. Did he see you when you took the photo?

Thanks Jack, some folk live a very simple life but seem more happy than most.
The man was aware of me yes, and I did ask if he was ok with me taking his photo.

Nice, well-framed composition. You can feel the tranquillity of the moment. Not being a fan of the heat, I am happy to be able to admire this landscape from my home... 🥵🫠🙂

What a nice person he was, sometimes when you ask someone's permission to get a picture, he might be rude a bit.



But yes, agree, some people who have a simple life, are happier than those who has everything.

Just can't think of it as a photo, more like a painting. I love it as well because it tells a story. To have captured that peace with the story is a very difficult thing to achieve.
