Oh I like to be at the seaside... oh I do like to be beside the sea

Unable to make an honest living he loiters around the docks in town. Close. You have to hustle on the coast and here are some Herring Gulls gleaning what they can from the nets on this moored fishing boat. We had another boat stowing supplies for a trip north to Alaska for the summer. Provisions are cheaper here and the boat was here so a crew flew down to sail it back. This boat in the picture is not going to Alaska.

Yeah, it's not the seaside, it's the Columbia River edge in Astoria, OR. So shoot me. A trawler tied up at Bornstein's and already unloaded. I put it up because of the warmth of the image, taken through what I strongly believe was the Thypoch 50mm f/1.4 Simera. I like the warmth and glow of cine lenses and those made by cine lens manufacturers, like Cooke and, in this case, Thypoch. And yes, those are crew members on the deck. Fishing is not a 9 to 5 job.

 
Again, the river. This is low tide King Tide when the tide really goes out. If you double-click the image pilings are apparent. These supported buildings to process salmon when the salmon runs were huge, before Bonneville Dam. Stories are you could walk across the Columbia on the backs of salmon. The big ones, "hogs", ran 40 - 60 pounds. No more. It is a trickle now.
