We celebrate Earth Day with a quiz.
“The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. From it we have learned most of what we know. Recently, we have waded a little out to sea, enough to dampen our toes or, at most, wet our ankles. The water seems inviting. The ocean calls.”
~ Carl Sagan
It is located in the city by the sea that never sleeps. Larger picture HERE

At the crack of dawn, people queue up to get on a boat to fish, or return home to their coastal villages after an overnight stay in the city.

Chefs from the city’s top restaurants and gourmet cooks come to the market here at 5 a.m. to get the freshest fish.
Answer HERE.
“Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.”

Hey Bee and Jai,
The photos are beautiful. Is it Hongkong? Or Shanghai?

Bombay. Sassoon Docks (Fish Market)
Is there a prize?
Gorgeous pictures (but so what’s new here

The building seems to be bombarded… The coconut trees reminds Kerala, Cochin-Ernakulam fort ?
kolkatta
Sassoon Docks, men. And that would be the fortress that guarded the Bombay Harbour. My sis lives right across from it.
Here’s a pic I took from her balcony.

Siri
No No.. I think its ‘Sassoon Docks’ (Mumbai)..

Lovely Snaps
Bombay meri jaan
Mumbai Sassoon docks.
I got it from the “filed under category” in your post
that’s because we posted the answer.
mumbai….
Now that the answer is out….Ago ti sasoon tak hai~~~, ani ti Mukesh mill, ani te bara butcher island hai..Mana vatte Jai ni ye photu Sagar Sangeet madhun ghetlen…khara ka nai?
Translated:
Girl that is sasoon dock (Koli cannot pronounce it so they say tak)…and that is mukesh mill, and that one is butcher island…I think Jai has taken these pictures from Sagar Sangeet apartments (where Nutan the actress lived) ….am I right?
Oh man the local flavor is lost in English!
BTW I was negotiating with Bee and Jai about fixing this quiz
(as in match fixing) but they didn’t cave in instead they barred me out.
yes. yes. yes. and yes !!
Bombay = LOVE / OPENNESS / ONENESS
