Stilt fishermen of Sri Lankaby ~Suppi-lu-liuma

Photography / Urban & Rural / Country Life

Stilt fishermen on the south-western shore of Sri Lanka, near Galle, between Ahangama and Weligama.

Stilt fishermen have an interesting way of catching fish. They perch wooden poles in the shallow waters near the coast, they walk or swim to those poles every day, climb on the benches and stand there for hours to catch fish by casting out their lines. Sometimes their feet get seriously wounded by the reef rocks.

Although tips from tourists became the rule of the game, I had the impression they still earn their lives thru fishing.

Suggester says; is a beautiful capture a daily fisherman's work in Sri Lanka, capturing a sense of poetic rhythm of their collective movement!

Strange way of going about fishing... saves buying/making a boat though. They must get cramp sitting up there all day.

~Suppi-lu-liuma Mar 19, 2012

Yep. I tried it, and I must say it is hell a strange and uncomfortable way of fishing.

Thank you very much.

Hello Suppi...............read my Journal on Sri Lanka.
Would love to meet you someday.

~Suppi-lu-liuma Feb 20, 2012

I would love to.

I read your journal on Sri Lanka. I can try to imagine the bond you have with the country of your birth. That's a lovely country, with all its colors, nuances, kind people and hardships.

You'll always welcome if you pass from Istanbul on your way to or back from Sri Lanka.

With friendship,

Suppi
