This was taken on the island of Lindisfarne (or Holy Island) which lies off the coast of Northumberland in the north east of England. The fishermen make these storage sheds out of old boats which are upturned and cut to put in a wall and a door. I love them. Wonderful recycling of the old boats too. In the background you can see Lindisfarne Castle across the bay.
I got to the Mill Pond before first light. I had finished my coffee and wandered off to the far side of thhe Mill Pond when I heard the sound of a boat’s engine. I hurried back around the pond and got there just in time to click a few shots of this boat coming in. I didn’t expect to get anything worth having those shots, but Photoshop can do some amazing things these days. This was shot at ISO 65,535 and to say it was grainy would be like saying water is wet. I suspect this boat is a one man operation. Later I walked past him as he was sorting through his catch; he didn’t seem happy. That afternoon I overheard a couple of locals talking about how there were plenty of shrimp to be caught but the price so low you couldn’t make a profit.
I processed and textured this picture in Photoshop
