‘CORMORANT FISHERMAN’ - CHINA 2018

Very happy to announce that one of our China images has won a Silver Medal in the OneEyeland Landscape 2018 competition, in the category ‘Rivers’.

The photograph was made during early morning hours on an overcast day. This fisherman was out on the Li River in the Guilin area in Guangxi Province, south east China. In the old days they used to fish with the help of their trained and captive cormorants. Nowadays? there is not much fish left in the river due to all sorts of reasons: more modern fishing techniques and perhaps also pollution amongst others…

The cracked dry soil in the riverbed of the Rio Tinto is very colorful. The river winds all the way down from the mining area through Huelva province until it reaches the Andalusian coast in south of Spain.

The acidic water of the Rio Tinto drains rocks full of sulfide deposits. Its water carries high concentrations of iron and heavy metals, and supports microorganisms that can live in extreme conditions.

When the rains pour down, the water of the Rio Tinto dillutes and the colors fade away in a whirlpool of high rising water, debris and rocks.

The water of the Río Tinto is notable for being very acidic with a pH of 2 and its deep red color is due to iron dissolved in its water.

The land- and waterscapes of the Rio Tinto lend itself very well to experiment and search for abstract nature compositions.
