Fisherman's Friend

Uploaded: July 26, 2007

Description

One of the horses who tow the nets of the shrimp fishermen at the North Sea - Belgium. Koksijde-Oostduinkerke is the only place left in the world where horses are still used for shrimp fishing, only 7 fishermen still fish this way. This of course is a great tourist attraction.
Image cropped, kyoto and beautifier effect and removed some grain.
Congratulations to all the Finalists! :)
