Some shots from that morning here:
Shot on the Puri beach. tried to get a painting effect with a little more exposure.
These are the boats on which the fishermen go into the high seas for fishing. They start around 0200 hours and return by 0500 hours to beat the heat. The fishermen form teams of 4 and lift these boats on their shoulders and take them to the sea...
I was of the assumption that these fishermen would be Oriyas (In Oriya, the local language, the fisherment are called Nolia). But, as in any job or business, the fishermen are from many different states of India like Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Bihar, West Bengal and some even from Maharashtra and Kerala.

ReplyDeleteHey Sudhansu,
ReplyDeleteThese are excellent photos. My o' my ! you bring the land so dear to me come to life.
I just remembered something that Robert Frost wrote:
"..There was one time and only the one
When dust really took in the sun;
And from that one intake of fire
All creatures still warmly suspire"
Keep shootin' man !
