The fishermen of Phu Quoc Island

Earlier today, Mike posted a link to some absolutely beautiful
shots he took at Avoca Beach, north of Sydney, with his new camera.

Go check them out!

A couple of Mike's shots were of the silhouette of a fisherman at sunrise.
I looked at them and immediately had a feeling of deja-vu as only
a couple of hours before Mike's post I had been looking at some photos
of my own, also of fishermen, but at sunset rather than sunrise.

Though I originally had no plan to post them, I thought it too much
of a synchronistic event to simply let slip by.

In many ways, it is not so much of a coincidence after all.
When you think about it -
Photographers love sunrises/sunsets.
One of the best places to see sunrises/sunsets is at the beach.
Who else is at the beach? Yes, you guessed it, fishermen.
What would make a good subject to frame my sunrise/sunset? - that fisherman.

So picking up on Mike's theme and without further ado, here are fishermen
at sunset, taken at Phu Quoc Island, which belongs to Vietnam and is just
off the coast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand.

Thanks for looking!

Best Regards

Gary
