fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. removing the bycatch, including sea snakes, and sorting the fish is the last task. everything went by in quiet mutual understanding, only rarely a command was heard. last of series. where this photo was taken? have a look at flickr.yuan.cc/maps/springm
fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. nice catch, safely brought in. due to the civil war situation, market opportunities however are little. The road trip from Batticaloa to Colombo takes 8h plus, even if there are no road blocks. where this photo was taken? have a look at google maps.
fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. Now the net is almost ashore and the tension eases up. Slowly they are heaving the load in, and some of them secure the lower rim of the net in order not to loose any fish.
fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. Silently they were watching the surface of the sea, but suddenly the started gesticulating and shouting, then discussing the best strategy for a catch with their muscular driven boats.

the artificial climate I feel in the city is (for me) very well represented through this reflected tree.
I do love the city lights at night, especially when they emphasize parts of the architecture not visible during the daylight.
Detail from the basis. I like the contrast between this very strict sober styleand some of the old houses in the surroundings.
