Gone Fishing by Gail Bridger

This is the fishing vessel, Ocean Cloud. This boat is fishing for the company I work for, Walcan Seafood Ltd. (should check out their website, www.walcanseafood.com. This boat is fishing in the middle of Port Hardy Bay, the most northern town on Vancouver Island, BC Canada. It’s seining for pilchards, the pilchard is small like a sardine. / We are offloading this boat later on today. It will be very a interesting offload, we have never offloaded pilchards before. / Always a first for everything ! :) / Hope you like it! / Taken with my DMC FZ-50, edited with ACDSee Imagery Program.

The harbor at sunrise by annalisa56

The harbor at dawn in Riomaggiore – Cinque Terre (Italy) The Cinque Terre, on the Riviera di Levante in Liguria, is a group of five charming villages (Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore) nested on a coast where steep cliffs and hills drop precipitously into the Medditerranean. The form and disposition of the small towns and the shaping of the landscape surrounding them, overcoming the disadvantages of a steep and broken terrain, graphically encapsulate the continuous history of human settlement in this region over the past millennium. There is no car traffic in the villages, since access by road is difficult and cars must be parked at the entrances anyways. The distances between them is small enough that it is feasible to hike from one village to the next. A 12km long (7 miles) spectacular coastal path link the five villages, which can also be reached by train or frequently scheduled boat. The Cinque Terre is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site which also include Portovenere and the Islands (Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto). Camera used: / CANON EOS 450D
Pittenweem Harbour by Tom Gomez

The small East Coast town of Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland looking across the harbour on a very overcast March day. Pittenweem is now the most active of the fishing ports in the East Neuk coast of Fife. Fishing boats jostle for position in its busy harbour and this is a lively vibrant place at any time of day. To add to the atmosphere, visitors can watch the fish market conducted in the sheds on the harbour from 8.00am each morning. This village is the only one in the East Neuk, still with a working harbour. Although there are fewer boats sailing from here now than in days gone by, it is a unique opportunity to see the daily landings and early morning market. Pittenweem fresh fish is bought here and sold by the many local fish vans who travel all over Scotland selling the fish. This panorama is made up of 3 shots stitched together.
