fisherman


this picture was taken somewhere in 1998 in a small island in front of makassar coast.
i think it was my second visit to that island, the first visit was 4 or 5 months earlier.
i remebered in my first visit the coral was really pretty, you can see the fishes swimming around between the corals.

The second time i was there, those beautiful corals were gone.
the corals were being moved, bombed and sold as aquarium decoration.
the impact was immediatelly, the fishes left that area and the fishermen have to sail further more, away from their home.

anyway from that picture, the fish i had in my hand ... it was not my catch, ok the fishing rod is mine and i still have it. but i bought that fish (and some more) for our lunch from a real fisherman.
the fishes are really fresh, i cannt remember what kind of fishes we had. but one thing for sure it was damn delicious.

well, i dont think i want to visit that island again. it's too hot ... no shade to hide yourself and you cannt do fishing too.

hope there are still islands to visit, where i can enjoy the corals and also do fishing.
