Vietnam, Con Dao - The photo shows a colourfully painted fishing boat anchored calmly off the coast of the Con Dao archipelago in Vietnam. The fine sandy beach in the foreground, the turquoise-coloured water and the densely overgrown island in the background create a tranquil, almost timeless scene. The boat - with its bold colours of blue, yellow and red - forms a strong contrast to the soft, pastel-coloured surroundings. Typical of the region is the fact that many fishing boats are handmade and individually painted, often with colours that also serve as symbols of luck and protection. Today, Con Dao is best known for its nature reserves, marine national parks and tranquil bays, but fishing remains an integral part of local life. The picture tells of simplicity, everyday life and maritime culture - without the tourist glamour that dominates the coasts elsewhere. It is suitable for themes such as sustainable fishing, travelling to Vietnam, island life, coastal culture, tropical landscape photography or tranquil nature motifs.
