In the river at the first return of salmon. When that sow caught a salmon those cub s came running. These two cubs had been on the river bank howling, the most loud god awful cry's, and the sow would catch a fish, take a bite and the cub would pounce on the carcass and rip it apart.

The Customs House in Dublin City Centre, on a long exposure like photo is a purple pink soup, however in reality its a projection of falling snowflakes, its the only snow you'll usually see in Dublin, purple or white ones.

Sundarbans, The largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world, located in the southwestern part of Bangladesh. It lies on the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta at the point where it merges with the Bay of Bengal. It is also a center of economic activities, such as extraction of timber, fishing and collection of honey. The forest consists of about 200 islands, separated by about 400 interconnected tidal rivers, creeks and canals.
The nature of Sundarbans is really so different and so so amazing to enjoy. I think it is really unmatched by its God gifted incredible features. Every traveler in the world should make a visit to our Sundarbans for once minimum in their lifetime, not but it will be a subject of great affliction to life.

A Rua dos Pescadores, localizada em Jovim, uma freguesia ribeirinha de Gondomar, apresenta um pavimento calcetado e conserva edificações dos séculos XVIII e XIX. Neste arruamento coexistem casas tradicionais caiadas e construções em pedra granítica, típicas da região. A arquitetura vernacular destaca-se pelos beirais em telha, molduras em cantaria e varandas em ferro. Historicamente, a área está ligada à pesca fluvial no rio Douro, revelando a ocupação ancestral da margem direita do rio. As estreitas ruas pavimentadas e as fachadas das casas antigas refletem a evolução urbana e social de Jovim, que foi um importante núcleo de pesca artesanal, essencial para a economia local até à introdução da pesca de arrasto. Hoje, estas ruas são testemunhos da história e da identidade da comunidade.

The search for coal which has come down the rivers of the Himalayas into the foothills of Assam and Sylhet.
Of course, there is no denying that its thankless and hard labour but these local villagers hunt for this energy source every day as it provides a more profitable income than basic farming.
And so in a sense, its natures gift to them.

Fisherman Geoff Brierley catching chub beneath Victoria Bridge on the Severn Valley Railway as GWR steam locomotive 7802 Bradley Manor passes with a Santa Special. This was the 12.13 train from Arley to Kidderminster on Sunday December 4th 2016.
Visited Foxton Locks over in Leicestershire. Here are what's called the Basins, lower end of the locks as the name implies. It's part of the wider canal network, Grand Union Canal. There has been little change to this over its lifetime.

Fly fishing on the McKenzie River and my husband hooked this beauty on a fly that our son tied! It was exciting!
The osprey (Pandion haliaetus) — also called fish eagle, sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk — is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.
The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant.
As its other common names suggest, the osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of fish. It possesses specialised physical characteristics and exhibits unique behaviour to assist in hunting and catching prey. As a result of these unique characteristics, it has been given its own taxonomic genus, Pandion and family, Pandionidae. Four subspecies are usually recognized, one of which has recently been given full species status (see below). Despite its propensity to nest near water, the osprey is not classed as a sea eagle.
The osprey is 0.9–2.1 kg (2.0–4.6 lb) in weight and 50–66 cm (20–26 in) in length with a 127–180 cm (50–71 in) wingspan. It is, thus, of similar size to the largest members of the Buteo or Falco genera.
The subspecies are fairly close in size, with the nominate subspecies averaging 1.53 kg (3.4 lb), P. h. carolinensis averaging 1.7 kg (3.7 lb) and P. h. cristatus averaging 1.25 kg (2.8 lb). The wing chord measures 38 to 52 cm (15 to 20 in), the tail measures 16.5 to 24 cm (6.5 to 9.4 in) and the tarsus is 5.2–6.6 cm (2.0–2.6 in).
The upperparts are a deep, glossy brown, while the breast is white and sometimes streaked with brown, and the underparts are pure white. The head is white with a dark mask across the eyes, reaching to the sides of the neck. The irises of the eyes are golden to brown, and the transparent nictitating membrane is pale blue. The bill is black, with a blue cere, and the feet are white with black talons. A short tail and long, narrow wings with four long, finger-like feathers, and a shorter fifth, give it a very distinctive appearance.
The sexes appear fairly similar, but the adult male can be distinguished from the female by its slimmer body and narrower wings. The breast band of the male is also weaker than that of the female, or is non-existent, and the underwing coverts of the male are more uniformly pale. It is straightforward to determine the sex in a breeding pair, but harder with individual birds.
The juvenile osprey may be identified by buff fringes to the plumage of the upperparts, a buff tone to the underparts, and streaked feathers on the head. During spring, barring on the underwings and flight feathers is a better indicator of a young bird, due to wear on the upperparts.
In flight, the osprey has arched wings and drooping "hands", giving it a gull-like appearance. The call is a series of sharp whistles, described as cheep, cheep or yewk, yewk. If disturbed by activity near the nest, the call is a frenzied cheereek!
