Life on the River
Image
View from back of river boat on a tour of a river. People are sitting on benches wearing hats and holding up umbrellas. A man is piloting the boat from a small wheelhouse which has large speakers on the roof. A small box in front of the window has a sign reading: "Tips Are Appreciated." Trees and docked boats are along the shoreline.
