Dragon Boat Race Along Rotterdam River Bend in along a switchback approach near Rotterdam

Dragon Boat Race Along Rotterdam River Bend

by Carol Choi

Golden midsummer light reflects off the dark, rippling surface of the river as a long dragon boat navigates a sharp switchback curve. The vessel, painted in vibrant reds and golds with a distinct dragon head at the prow, cuts through the water, leaving a frothy white wake. Mist pools in the low-lying grassy banks, clinging to the base of the embankment while the upper sections remain clear. Rowers in matching uniforms lean forward in synchronized motion, their oars dipping rhythmically into the stream. The water mirrors the warm sky, creating a soft, nostalgic glow that illuminates the splashing droplets. The boat's shadow stretches across the foreground water, ending where the mist begins to obscure the distant shoreline. One red ribbon flutters from the stern against the grey-green fog.
