Square net fishing in Phatthalung, Thailand, is a traditional method practiced in the Thale Noi wetlands. Fishermen use bamboo platforms with suspended square nets operated by a pulley and counterweight system. The nets are lowered into the water to trap fish as they swim by, relying on the fishermen’s knowledge of tides and fish behavior. The catch is collected using smaller scoop nets. This sustainable method allows smaller fish to escape, preserving ecosystems. Fishing often occurs in the early morning or evening and reflects generations of cultural tradition. The bamboo structures, especially at sunrise, have become iconic, attracting tourists and photographers. Square net fishing symbolizes the harmonious connection between people and nature, blending livelihood and heritage in this serene region.
Funny story. I needed to fly my drone amongst the mangrove roots to get this panorama capture. Elated after the final frame was shot I mistakenly flew straight up into a guide wire and crashed the drone into the river. Just 5m offshore, I quickly stripped down and dove into the water to recover the drone. Down about 4m it was cold and pitch black with no sign of the bottom. Failure. The hotel was able to find me a salvage diver who was able to recover the drone a week later using the last recorded GPS coordinates. I received the corroded drone and more importantly the still functioning micro SD card a couple of weeks after my return from the trip. Elation again upon successful import, and panorama stitch.
Sitting on a platform
Waiting for your train to come
Should have been here at one
I keep checking on my watch
Cause there's nothing else I can do
And when it pulls in
You're not standing there
Couples everywhere
I reach into my pocket
Just to see if I got the day right

Not sure what this is but shot it anyway! Shot during the morning blue hour. A minimalist long exposure shot using a 6 stop ND filter.

82207 rolls into Doncaster unusually on the north end of the set viewed by some gents at the south end of the station. VTEC had started operating the East Coast franchise on 1 March 2015 for 5 years although disputes over new trains and revenues resulted in the franchise being handed back on 23 June 2018 with government backed LNER taking over.
