Series - 3 - Chinese Fishing Net
these nets have a combination of a crab and crane carrying garbage.
Fishing looking up is what the experience is: we look as thou we are really pulling the rope very hard but the truth is it isnt so hard - when you start pulling and the stones which are tied to the rope and it comes down almost to your face is quite an amazing thing. we could catch tiger fish. photo credit: one of the fisherman - forgot to ask his name.

Legend has it that the Chinese Fishing Nets were introduced in Fort
Kochi by the Chinese explorer, Zheng He. They were brought from the
court of Chinese emperor, Kublai Khan and have been in operation here
since that time only. Just take a stroll by the Vasco-da-gama Square
near the Fort Cochin and you are bound to come across a number of
Chinese fishing nets, suspended in mid-air, alongside the seacoast.....
