Fish House

Posted by
Harry (Apex, NC, United States) on 12 February 2024 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

This one room (with a loft) home was hand built by a fisherman who raised his family and docked his boat here. He completed it on his return from Word War II. His daughter still owns the property, though she lives in a more modern house across the street. She maintains the house in its original configuration and has filled it with mementos of her family and the fishing industry of that era. She spent a half hour with us telling tales of hand knotted nets with manually carved floats, and of rowing out to bring her father lunch as he fished.

It is very nice to maintain this old house. I like the sculpture in the foreground, too.

@Hiro: the "sculpture" is the uprooted trunk of a seaside tree - perhaps a cypress

Fine black and white take on the fish house here. I like the light coming form the right hand side and illuminating the boat, roof, the wooden structure, and also the twisted wood stump in the foreground.
