This photo captures a story of man and our relationship with the sea. Gentle waves rise in the foreground, lightly brushing against the top of a PVC fish nursery where a pelican stands perfectly still, awaiting his next meal. In the distance, a small fishing boat is anchored, part of the daily routine that has served generations of Charlotteville’s community. In the background, a bird glides through the sky.
Rolling clouds fill the sky, filling the scenery with the rich colours of sunset to mark the end of another day. A headland is seen in the distance, black in the shadows of the setting sun.
The scene reflects both beauty and resilience, hinting at our reliance on the sea for sustenance while also showing how we can sustainably source from it. And the sea, not only provides beauty, but is a living partner that gives back to us.
