just another danshui (淡水) afternoon

april 4. took advantage of some nice weather (not too hot, not too cold, not rainy, not too cloudy, not too sunny, not too humid... hard to please the taiwanese :)...)




i don't recall seeing ANYONE, EVER catch ANYTHING worth mentioning... but then again i only visit the place 5-6 times a year....



maybe burning some ghost money will help...



danshui headgear fashion...



coffee shop (yes, "that" one...) don't drink it, don't care for it... the guy may as well have been me...



traffic jam by the river... the pacific ocean in the background...



wedding photography at fort san domingo... an auspicious month for marriage, lots of similar scenes all over scenic spots in the city...



also fort san domingo...



taiwanese belle by the fort...



a monk and two nuns (i think) at fishermen's wharf...



yet another angler...



animals of danshui I.



animals of danshui II.



animals of danshui III. (o.k. not that many of these running around)



a glimpse of the past... by the riverside. prime real estate... won't be long before it'll be replaced by some fancy bar or another coffee shop (yes please, more of those...)



still more people trying their luck...



wedding photography and fishing... welcome to danshui!



makeup...



... and then the photos...



another couple, a bit further up the hills...
