A home of a mussels catcher
A story behind: Monday´s afternoon started with dark cloud cover. I drove to Murtosa village and left my car where the road ended. After weeks and weeks of rain the whole delta of Vouga river was pretty much flooded. I wandered along the canals of the braided delta quite some time looking for a nice spot. The fishermen were coming back from the sea. I waited. They say that hope is a mother of fools. Maybe it´s true but that day the things worked for me very well. I spotted a wooden shag that belonged to one of the mussels catchers. The wind stopped blowing allowing clear mirror-like reflections in the water.

Zastanawiam się Maćku czy fotografia to Twój zawód czy hobby?
ReplyDeleteU Ciebie nawet zwykła "rybacka" chata wygląda magicznie!

Maciek.
Dla mnie super!
ReplyDeletePiękne. Ale piękne inaczej niż zdjęcia kościła, czy plaży. Statyczne i dramatyczne.
ReplyDeletePerfect touches of green, blue, honey-yellow, white and red even play nicely with overall brown colour of this timber shed. Very picteresque. Are you sure, the owner of that shed was a mussels catcher only? Funny thing is, that we just saw a thriller yesterday, called "The Hide", where the birdwatcher was hiding in a shed like this to peep at rare waterbirds. It looked more like the shed mirrored in the water pane. A bit of advice for you though... keep reasonable distance from these sheds, you never know who's hiding in it ;)
ReplyDelete@Wojciech i @delie - podziękowania za wizytę i mile słowa.
ReplyDelete@Piotr: Now you really made me feel scared ! Portugal and its coastal regions are famous for being one of the well established drug routes to Europe. That shed could perfectly be one of these drug safe houses. :))
