In the central boat, a woman in an orange top and a man in a light blue hooded jacket sit near the stern, while a bald man in an orange jacket and jeans stands and photographs with a camera. Other passengers in grey, blue and white hoodies sit along the benches. Distant riverbank buildings and trees appear faintly in the mist.
