The Intha boatmen of Inle Lake often row with one leg which not only allows them to rest their arms but leaves their arms free to steer their flat-bottomed boat whilst they lower their nets in and pull them out of the water.
Constructive feedback is your greatest compliment; caring enough to bother saying something ... thanks for visiting!
How on earth do they avoid tipping right over?! It looks really hazy, is this the humidity or fires?

@Bronnie: It is a combination of mist and smoke.
Increadable take! Exceptional!

This shot is very interesting, not to mention educational. Whoever came up with the idea of rowing like this was quite clever.
