At the end of her life, this abandoned ship have intriguing stories to tell.
She has a story of daring encounters with tidal waves, she has a story of survival from many turbulent sea storms, she has a story of experiencing loneliness in middle of the sea, she has a story of staying in the dark with no land visible up to infinity point in any direction in the sea, she has a story to console many lonely people on board, she has a story of some heart-wrenching moments of witnessing death of the people on board, she has a story to collect million fishes to provide livelihood for many people during her lifetime, she has a story of enjoying the sight happiness on the face of many families, she has a story to dedicate its life for others and many more.
She has served the society in the true way.
Now, she is resting on the sea shore, in this deteriorating condition and waiting for someone to come and free her from this situation.
Just who the heck was Peggy of Peggy’s Cove fame? Well Peggy is a diminutive of Margaret and Peggy’s Cove is the eastern mouth of St. Margarets Bay if you want the simple explanation. The romantic version goes that a ship wrecked on the point and the sole survivor rescued by a young fisherman was a woman named Margaret that fell in love with her savior settling down together she became known as the “Peggy of the Cove” the Cove became forever Peggy’s.
When you visit remember that though this is a tourist hotspot it is also a community and one that should be respected it is not a quaint fishing village Disneyland hastily put together just for your viewing pleasure nor are the inhabitants summer actors but people that have lived there for generations, they are rightfully proud of their heritage also if approached nicely they will extol the virtues of this wonderful place and if your luck holds maybe they will grace you with a few stories as well.
There are 5 working fishing boats that make the cove their home berth and they still make the rounds twice a day to go out to the bay to check around 250 lobster traps every day of the six month season which just ends when peak tourist season begins it is a lucrative trade for those that make their livelihood from the sea, with licenses costing 1 million Canadian it needs to be lucrative.

HFF!
Peanuts are not "peanuts" for Worth County, GA - the Peanut Capital of the World. We also have a Peter Pan plant here, and some of these peanuts will land up in your cabinets one day! Those peanuts have been hauled directly from the field to the buying point.
In every society, there are senior people who are left behind to fend for themselves by the very home they hall prospered in the earlier part of their lives.
A quiet, evocative scene documenting rural livelihoods in coastal Bangladesh. In IMg, a flock of geese—a vital domestic asset for many coastal households—gathers near a traditional bamboo and corrugated tin shed. These birds serve as both a reliable source of sustenance and a modest, sustainable income stream for village families. The monochrome edit emphasizes the timeless, resilient texture of rural life as the flock congregates at the edge of a village pond.
ছবিটি তোলা হয় কুষ্টিয়ার রিনিক বাদ থেকে। রিনিক বাদের নির্মান কাজে অংশ নেয়া শ্রমীকদের সন্ধার সময়ও কাজ চালিয়ে যাবার বিষয়কে কেন্দ্র করে।
ছবির মধ্যে দিয়ে দলীয় কাজের একটি উদাহরনও তুলে ধরার চেষ্টা করা হয়েছে।
This factory is located at the remote area within the deserted valley at the outskirts of Taif. People around the world put great effort and sacrifice so many things in their life to earn livelihood for their family. I have a great respect and high regards for these people.
...Moorland farms were always marginal places to try and make a living. Now reduced to shells, they provide sheep shelters
The crescent moon finds a gap in the clouds as a magnificent sunset lights up over the darkly looming heights of the dunes, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. My youngest son requested a trip to the Dunes in a rented RV for his birthday present a couple of years ago when this photo was made. Bless him for having the prescience to get us all here for this moment.
Back to the current day, a number of wildfires are roiling the typically blue Colorado skies with smoke that is almost as pretty at sunset as the clouds you see here. The downside, of course, is the loss of forest, life, and livelihood. Today the humidity finally increased and it began to rain in some small measure. After the latest conflagration leaped over the Continental Divide, perhaps the forest on the eastern side of Rocky Mountain National Park will not burn too severely, but who can be sure. It is troubling to know that years like this are but the harbinger of what is to come if we do not act quickly to reduce our economic dependence on fossil fuels. Forests have a hard time absorbing carbon from the atmosphere when they are incinerated and become a source of carbon themselves.
Across the Mekong River, a 10-minute ferry & a 20 minute tuk-tuk ride away, lies the village of Ban Tjan/Ban Chan, where skilled villagers have mastered the art of pottery. This craft is not only about creativity, but also serves as a means of livelihood for the community. The villagers craft a variety of pottery items, including pots, figurines, plates, vases, garden floorings and bells. This traditional craft has been passed down from generation to generation, and continues to serve as the primary source of income for the village.
His livelihood is to sharpen scissors , knives etc available in common household.

After the wife’s mishap less than 24 hours earlier she needed to take it a little easier than normal so we spent a little less time walking and more time driving around the countryside enjoying the scenery and capturing some the images that make Basilicata such a special place. There are no shortage of back roads in this region some are little more than goat paths others a little more roomy where almost two cars can pass each other comfortably to me these are the routes to the unexplored leading to the visual treasures that I am looking to capture.
Captured here is the ancient city of Marsicovetere in all her glory seemingly laid across a saddle of rock like a bedspread of buildings with its back protected by Mount Volturino and the fertile farmland of Val d'Agri at its feet this idyllic village has been inhabited since before the Romans. There once sat a fortress at the top of the towns peaks now all that remains of this 11th century Norman construction is a tower a few entranceways and an old windmill but the beauty of this village is the main attraction and a great reason for anyone in the area to make a visit.
The village was hit pretty hard in the earthquakes of 1857, brigands in last part of 19th century and immigration in the early part of the 20th and didn’t really recover until the 1950’s when they began developing the back side of town pictured here on the right a suburb now called Villa d’Agri for the valley that most take their livelihoods from. Thankfully for visitors the last century of hardships preserved the village and the old stone houses at its old center along with the myriad of small streets, stairs and steep inclines that just made it easier to leave them alone and build outwards when prosperity returned.

Cadgwith, in Cornish Porthkajwydh meaning cove of the thicket, is a village and fishing port in Cornwall on the Lizard Peninsula. The village has its origins in medieval times as a collection of fish cellars in a sheltered south-east facing coastal valley with a shingle cove. Fishing subsidised local farmers' livelihoods. Cadgwith was originally called 'Porthcaswydh', becoming 'Por Cadjwydh' in Late Cornish, and is derived from the Cornish word for 'a thicket', literally meaning battle of trees, probably because the valley was densely wooded. From the 16th century, the village became inhabited, with fishing as the main occupation. Subsequently, houses, lofts, capstan houses, and cellars constructed of local stone or cob walls and thatched or slated roofs were built along the beach and up the sides of the valley leading to Cadgwith's characteristic Cornish fishing village appearance.
Cadgwith is one of my favourite villages in Cornwall. We would come here often during the summer when I was growing up and buy fresh fish from the fisherman.
Nomads losing livelihood, unity and culture post resettlement:
DHARAMSHALA, July 17: A Tibetan writer born to a nomadic family inside Tibet has blasted China’s mass resettlement policy of Tibetans and listed eight “losses” nomads (Tib: drogpas) have suffered post resettlement.
Written in Tibetan under the pseudonym Bongtak Rilu, the writer says that nomads are “a proud, compassionate, honest, cultured and productive people who crafted their own independent source of living for centuries.”
According to Dharamshala based rights group Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, the writer laments the losses nomads are currently suffering, including the loss of precious folk culture, because of their resettlement in urban areas.
