The fishing harbor of Essaouira takes on a mystical atmosphere in the misty, hazy morning quiet. But there is no doubt of where you are for the lapping water against the boats, the cries of the gulls, the smells of fish and seawater, and the well-fed cats skirting about are the tell-tale realities of any working fish harbor.

At the edge of the horizon, the sun sinks into the ocean like a burning coin, leaving behind a sky divided into bands of fire, amber, and deepening blue. The sea breathes calmly, reflecting the last embers of the day. A fence in the foreground reminds us of the boundary between land and infinity, a fragile frame before the vastness of light.
And then comes the moment of expectation — the search for the green flash, that elusive spark said to appear just as the sun disappears, a fleeting jewel offered only to those who wait with patience and faith. The photograph captures not only the descent of the sun, but also the tension of anticipation: will the miracle of the green ray reveal itself, or is it destined to remain a secret between the horizon and the sky?

Along the Chumphon coast, especially at low tide, you can often see Thai fishermen and women catching various types of seafood using nets and poles. These fishermen have a close bond with the sea and a traditional lifestyle that goes back generations. They enjoy sharing knowledge about fishing techniques and foster a strong community bond. Using traditional methods such as nets and poles, fishermen can catch shrimp hiding in shallow waters and muddy areas. Crabs and small fish are often found along the coastline. Fishermen use nets and poles to catch them when the water recedes during low tide. Mussels, oysters and other mollusks can also be caught with nets and sticks, especially in rocky coastal areas. In some cases, fishermen also attempt to catch squid, depending on the specific fishing methods they use. The use of nets and poles during low tide is a traditional method adopted by local fishermen to catch fish and seafood sustainably. The thatched open huts on the beach serve as shelters and rest areas for the fishermen. These simple structures provide protection from the sun and give fishermen a place to rest between their fishing activities. After casting nets and catching fish, fishermen return to these huts to rest, sort their catch and prepare for further activities. It also acts as a social center where fishermen share stories and exchange experiences. The fish caught is often sold locally, possibly through small market stalls or simple sales points, where fishermen offer their fresh catch to local residents or visitors.
Over the years, tourism on Koh Tao has grown steadily, and the island now has a reputation as one of the best diving destinations in the world. Chumphon is the gateway to several beautiful islands, such as Koh Tao and Koh Samui. Take a boat trip and explore the various islands with their unique charm. From Chumphon, the Lomprayah High-Speed catamarans sail directly from the pier to the islands. The coast of Chumphon is skipped by most tourists. Although the sea is not as blue as that of Koh Tao, there is plenty to do and see here. Explore the vast beaches of Chumphon with relaxing walks. Chumphon is known for its breathtaking sunsets. Relax on the beach and watch the sun slowly disappear behind the horizon, bathing the sky in warm hues. Enjoy the fresh sea air and admire the beautiful coastline. Along the coast, especially at low tide, you can often see Thai fishermen and women catching various types of seafood using nets and poles. Visit local fishing villages and food stalls along the coast and learn about traditional Thai fishing culture. Learn about their lifestyle, techniques and taste freshly caught seafood.
Langs de kust van Chumphon, vooral bij eb, zie je vaak Thaise vissersmannen en vrouwen die verschillende soorten zeevruchten vangen met behulp van netten en stokken. Deze vissers hebben een nauwe band met de zee en een traditionele levensstijl die generaties teruggaat. Ze delen graag kennis over visserijtechnieken en koesteren een sterke gemeenschapsband. Met behulp van traditionele methoden, zoals netten en stokken, kunnen vissers garnalen vangen die zich verschuilen in ondiepe wateren en modderige gebieden. Langs de kustlijn zijn vaak krabben en kleine visjes te vinden. Vissers maken gebruik van netten en stokken om ze te vangen wanneer het water zich terugtrekt tijdens eb. Mosselen, oesters en andere weekdieren kunnen ook worden gevangen met netten en stokken, vooral in rotsachtige kustgebieden. In sommige gevallen proberen vissers ook inktvis te vangen, afhankelijk van de specifieke vismethoden die ze gebruiken. Het gebruik van netten en stokken tijdens eb is een traditionele methode die door lokale vissers wordt toegepast om op duurzame wijze vis en zeevruchten te vangen. De rieten open hutjes op het strand dienen als schuilplaatsen en rustplekken voor de vissers. Deze eenvoudige structuren bieden bescherming tegen de zon en geven de vissers een plek om uit te rusten tussen hun visserijactiviteiten. Na het uitwerpen van netten en het vangen van vis, keren de vissers terug naar deze hutjes om uit te rusten, hun vangst te sorteren en zich voor te bereiden op verdere activiteiten. Het fungeert ook als een sociaal centrum waar vissers verhalen delen en ervaringen uitwisselen. De gevangen vis wordt vaak ter plaatse verkocht, mogelijk via kleine marktkraampjes of eenvoudige verkooppunten, waar vissers hun verse vangst aan lokale bewoners of bezoekers aanbieden.
One of the large series of brochures issued by British Railways in this style during the 1950s and most with charming, if not exciting, period artwork! This is the 1952 folder for Eastern England, the cover showing a typical East Anglian town scene by artist J Fletcher Watson.
Inside the folder, common to many of the 1952 set, are a fine pictorial map and numerous illustrations and vignettes mostly unattributed. They don't appear to be by the cover artist yet many brochures have the same 'style' and I can only find one signature in any of them, that of an E Dawson.
The map is a wee gem with the cartouches of beach life and activities slightly echoing the pre-war East-Coasting famously illustrated by Bawden. One thing to note here is the massive loss of rail lines that was to hit this region badly in the following decade. Few rural and coastal areas escaped the contraction of the BR network but the scale of closures in East Anglia has always seemed immense to my eye.
