Wandering North

Northern Ports

Spain | Wednesday, July 3, 2013 | flickr photos

The sea bathes the rocky coast in the North of Spain with a mixture of vastness, violence and wild beauty.

The coastline is sprinkled with little villages, where a very small population keep an ancient fishing tradition; but sadly, a fading one, due to the massive exploitation of sea resources by the big fleets and the contamination of the marine ecosystem.

People in this places, they don't see the sea as a source, or even a lifestyle.
For them, it's life itself.
They have a relationship of both love and struggle, comrades and foes.
A relationship where man still feels insignificant, facing this ancient vastness.

I've tried to hint in this pictures some ideas and concepts about this relationship, taken along the Asturian coastline.
