La pesca sui trampoli è una tradizione del sud dello Sri Lanka, unica al mondo. Permette ai pescatori di entrare in acque basse senza essere visibili ai pesci; tuttavia, è un metodo di pesca particolarmente faticoso perchè richiede di stare in equilibrio per ore su questi precari appoggi, e si pescano solo pesci di piccole dimensioni, portando a casa un magro bottino. Nel corso degli anni è stata sostituita da metodi di pesca più moderni, e il devastante tsunami del 2004 ha dato l'ultimo colpo a questa tradizione spazzando via ogni cosa che c'era sulla costa. Al giorno d'oggi, gli "stilt fishermen" rimasti lo fanno perlopiù per riceve mance in cambio della possibilità di fotografarli, ma ho voluto comunque scattare una foto di questa affascinante tradizione.

Thank you all for the comments!

they are the same as in the other photo, now they do it only for tips and not for fish ;-) I added the caption here too for transparency.

When a photo tells! As a landscape painter I begin to want to shift my attention to something else, to moments of life, to photos that speak for themselves. Beautiful shot.

I compared this photo with the one taken by McCurry with a 35-year-old film camera. :-D :-D :-D
