The fisher-man and his horse


Koksijde-Oostduinderke it's the only place where you can still see shrimp fishing carried out on horseback.
Taken during a special walk early in the morning on the beach of Oostduinkerke to have hopes of capturing a fisher-man at work.

l'image est belle, mais maitenant que j'ai vu l'autre en N/B ... par contre, bien cadrée !

I am a seaman but I don't believe this. He is using doors to keep the troll open like we are doing :) This is something I would like to see with my own ayes :) Great photo :)

As Dany said (Dany is a belgian man), this fisher-man is probably one of the last one to do that. Hurry up to go in Belgium to see that!

this is so good documentary photo! I'm amazed on using a horse to this, and I'm from a small fishing village myself :)
