This fisherman is preparing his mountain of nets in readiness for the lifting of the fishing ban on the 1st of September. The ban only applies to Trawler vessels using nets, not to other anglers.
This ban supposedly helps replenish the fish stock around the seas of Istanbul!
I really hope it’s true! But just look at the size of this one vessel's nets. Imagine the other thousands!

High time to provide you with some information about Greek coastal fishery:
Greece is a country with a long tradition in fishing. The 4.000 km of the mainland's coastline and the 11.000 km of the islands' coastline favour it. It's output: around 130.000-160.000 tons of fish and sea-food every year. 90% of this total is captured in the Aegean Sea. In general, the Greek waters are not very productive. Owing to the narrowness of the continental shelf in the majority of Greek waters, in general vessels fish very close to the coast. The northern Aegean, in particular the Sea of Thrace, is an exception, because of the extent of the continental shelf and the hydrographic conditions.
Fishing in Greece is characterized by the catch of multiple species - more than eighty different species. However, the predominant catches are small pelagics (anchovies and sardines). Others: cod, mullet, prawn, squid bream. And molluscs ( 9% of the landings) and crustaceans (5%.).
The Greek fishing fleet is not industrialized and dominated by small coastal vessels, as out of a total of 18 900 ships, more than 17 300 are less than 12 metres in length. More than 21% of the vessels in the European Community fleet are registered in Greece. However, because of their small size, they represent only 5% of the tonnage and 8% of the power. These characteristics also apply to the Greek fishing fleet'smain activity, which is focused on catching coastal species around the islands and some other species further beyond the continental shelf.
Only a small group of Greek fishing vessels (around 35) currently operate in international waters, catching fish and crustaceans in the central Atlantic and the western coast of Africa.
The most commonly used main fishing gear is set longlines (64% of vessels) and set (anchored) gillnets (23%). These two types of gear are the main gear of 87% of vessels in the Greek fleet. However, gillnets predominate as secondary gear (59% of vessels), while set longlines are used as secondary gear only by 26% of vessels.
I am putting my photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
On a visit to Elburg. We had a no rain but it was rather gloomy sort of day. Pity as yesterday was sunny
There is evidence of a Neolithic settlement at Elburg consisting of stone tools and pottery shards. From Roman times there are names and shards of earthenware which suggest that there was an army camp at the site of Elburg. The earliest extant written record of Elburg is from 796 AD.
Between 1392 and 1396 Elburg was rebuilt with a moat and a city wall, together with a gridiron street plan. This rapid rebuilding was expensive, indicating that Elburg was reasonably affluent in medieval times. Several records of Elburg date back to the 14th century. Elburg was granted town status probably by Count Otto II In the 13th century. There is a record that Elburg got its fishing right granted in 1313. In 1367 the city was recorded as a member of the Hanseatic League. At the end of the 16th century new moats and higher ramparts were built because of the improved war-techniques.

Information about the town:
"The village of Moudros until 1914 constituted a municipality. It still is the economic center of eastern Limnos. The village is first referred to in 1355. Around 1380 it belonged to the Monastery of Vatopedion of Mount Athos. During the 18th century two castles were preserved here. The one of Moudros and another one given to the Monastery of Vatopedion in 1362 by the Great Military Commander of Limnos, Georgios Astras. Today two churches exist in Moudros: Taxiarches, probably built in 1370 and Evangelistrias, built in 1904. Moudros owes its importance especially to the port. It is one of the best natural ports in the Mediterranean if not the best. The gulf of Moudros protected from the northern winds and the streams coming from Dardanellia, is navigable even by large ships. During the Balkan wars, the gulf was used as a starting point from Pavlos Koudouriotis. During 1914-1916 it constituted one of the nautical bases for the alliances in the enterprises of Kallipolis and those of Dardanellia.
Moudros also served as an anchorage for about 500 ships and as much as 30.000 soldiers camped here. Their presence contributed to the trade flourish. Coming out of Moudros, on the road to Roussopouli, is the alliance cemetery. Many victims of the 1st World War were buried here in clusters depending upon their nationality."

Fisherman with the mammoth task of repairing the nets before the next trip. Cadiz Port, Philippines.
Photographed in beautiful Dinard, Brittany, France, we stood and watched this man for a while as he repaired his nets.
An evening stroll at the Fort Kochi beach made me take my camera!
Was trying a few long exposure shots and managed to capture the fishing nets when a merchant vessel was moving right behind it!
This cat was looking for some food or mouses inside these fishing nets on the docks of Peniscola.

Tenth picture of my series Reflections, all taken in the Albufera of Valencia.
(This time looking for the small birds, abstract lines and reflections of the nets)
Albufera means, according to its Arab origin, small sea.
In some poems it was called the Mirror of the Sun.
On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Saturday. :)
