This picture shows a carefully stacked collection of fishing gear on a quay or deck: thick ropes, black and green nets, buoys and sturdy hoses and lines awaiting their next use at sea. A boat is moored in the background, and beyond the water, houses are lined up between trees on a quiet shore. The picture conveys the atmosphere of a small fishing harbour, where traditional craftsmanship meets idyllic natural surroundings. It tells of hard work, everyday life on the water and the deep connection between people and the sea
