Fishing boats in wait,
Metal clangs, a seagull calls,
But otherwise still,
Fishermen resting
In cottages, a respite,
From the cold hard seas,
Wire mesh, wooden slats,
Lobster pots piled by the side,
Waiting for their bait,
A visitor walks,
Taking photos, fingers numb,
Scotland’s winter coast






These are a few photographs I took in Anstruther; a small former fishing village on the East Coast of Scotland. They were taken last winter, it was super cold and my fingers were numb holding the camera 🙂
