A congested marina that appeared to be crammed full of commercial fishing boats ( of all sizes ) and other vessels.

on my walk, riverside

I like the curtains in this window.

HWW!

Long exposure shot of fishing nets in Alberoni - Venice's disticntive San marco's clock tower is clearly visible in the distance to the right of the picture

Just North of La Rochelle, dotted along the coastline. Fishing nets lowered into the high tide, and raised, hopefully with some fish.

I returned here a few days later for some sunset work.

For a lovely Sunday!

These fishing nets from the boat "Cirrus" are tightly wound up on a wheel. One can imagine how far they might stretch into the sea when deployed.

[Enlarge this shot to see the highlights on the nylon fishing nets.]

Fishing nets hanging out to dry

Old nets hung over the rails of an old fishing boat.

The nets themselves are in fact not coloured. The vibrant colours come from so-called “vispluis” (Dutch word). Vispluis, only used in Holland and Belgium, (translation: +/- fishing fluff) is the name used for the orange, green or blue plastic threads that are placed in bunches under bottom fishing nets. The bunches of plastic threads act as a buffer between the bottom and the net, protecting the net from wear.

Why not just sit on the fishing nets and wait if you’re really hungry? This one was taken on our last trip to PEI. Happy Wing Wednesday.

"May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it"

Like every image we capture there is a story behind it and this one is no different.

I captured this on a trip to South Carolina. I saw some shrimp boats on a small inlet and stopped to ask if I could photograph them. The owner of the boat was there and said yes. After I finished what I was shooting he ask if I would like to go out with them and see the entire process, I had to decline but what an awesome opportunity. Maybe next time.

Thanks for stopping by
