Rhythmic dance of fishing nets

In the early days of summer, when large schools of anchovies appear in abundance, it also marks the beginning of the fishing season for the fishermen of the South Central Coast.

Amidst the vast ocean, fishermen with their fishing nets create a vivid portrait of the beauty of a livelihood through multicolored 'dances.'

Fishermen on their boats begin casting their nets. They look like artists painting countless beautiful and vivid pictures on the canvas of the sea.
