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

Hoping for a good catch, a group of fishermen haul in their nets for hours on the beach at Galle.

on my walk, riverside

I like the curtains in this window.

HWW!

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.

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

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.

Fishing nets hanging out to dry

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

The tools of trade found on the quayside,the rustic colours of the drying nets and rope and the vibrant coloured buoy .

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.
