Challenge has finished

Using fishing rods, nets, boats, harpoons, standing in the water, on the rocks or whatever. Someone told me there are 3 things humans like watching more than anything: Water, Fire and... other people working :-) So this challenge combines two of those, go and enjoy it! This challenge will be also happy to see fisherwomen, of course :-)

This is a pic of the fishing village of Cuffe Parade, Mumbai. Fishermen live in shanties and have small boats to earn their daily wage. And this where property prices are close to 1000$ a sq foot!!!! A difficult pic to take considering the dull grey skies and smoggy atmosphere!
