" ... al centro della costa occidentale sarda trovo Cabras, storico borgo di pescatori. Qui si è combattuta per secoli una battaglia spietata sulla pelle dei lavoratori, che, sino a quasi tutto il novecento, hanno sofferto una sorta di feudalesimo da parte dei sedicenti proprietari delle acque dello stagno, che imponevano loro condizioni insopportabili e vessatorie. Il paese vanta una tradizione di ribellioni, sino a quando la vicenda non ha trovato un chiarimento definitivo attraverso una legge regionale del 1980 che ha stabilito la proprietà demaniale degli stagni. Ancora oggi la pesca del muggine, il cefalo che risale dal mare lo specchio d'acqua salmastra, è il cuore dell'economia locale. Questa scena è attuale quanto antica. Una squadra di una decina di uomini si immerge nelle acque delle camere del lavoriero stendendo un'immensa rete, che viene raccolta mano a mano unitamente al pesce che vi è rimasto intrappolato. Il finale è scontato, eppure questo cefalo selvatico venderà cara la pelle, con salti stupefacenti e le più imprevedibili contorsioni. L'ultimo ad uscire dall'acqua è un omone alto che si erge al centro della scena. Intorno alle sue braccia lunghe, una moltitudine di muggini, in un incontrollabile vortice di schizzi e scaglie. Le urla degli uomini si mischiano alle incontenibili vibrazioni di quei pesci ad un passo dalla morte eppure mai così vitali ... " Cabras - Oristano, Luglio 2020;

Stunning snap. Impressed with mastery a fantastic moment. I really like it, too bad for the subject's head at the top of the sx, but not everything you can have right? :-D
Note also the B/n and congratulations as well for the interesting very educational caption ;-)
a greeting

Wonderful image And I don't say this just because they are my fellow countrymen
It tells, and very well, a story of a people and its culture and it does so from the inside, immersing itself in the daily life of the work
.
The most sincere Congratulations, it is a pleasure to wander among your images.

A very dear greeting and a good weekend :-D
