Japan, Iwakuni - Fisherman
Fishing for ayu (a.k.a. sweetfish, Plecoglossus altivelis) is common among the residents living close to rivers and streams in Japan. With its clear and clean waters, many rivers and streams are teaming with aquatic life and ayu, being a favourite food fish, is often fished both commercially or as a hobby by many locals.
Crossing the famous Iwakuni Bridge or Kin-tai kyo on my way to the top of Mount Yokoyama to visit the Iwakuni Castle, I looked down into the passing Nishiki River and chanced upon the sight of this fisherman fishing for ayu at low tide. Because I was standing on the bridge almost directly overhead, I could frame this shot seemingly from a bird eye's view perspective.
This is another of those photo moments that would digitised the memory of that moment in time during my trip. A perfect digital momento to an unforgettable travel experience.
