Danube Delta – second part

"...where the old Danubius loses its water and great name into the sea..." – quoting Eugenia Botez, or, better known under his pseudonym Jean Bart, author of "Europolis" – lies the Delta of this European river, a land between waters, magic and unique. The lifes of the people, their stories, their past and their hopes... Here are some photographs of this last weeks from the villages of Letea, Rosetti and Sulina:

Danube Delta – first part

In the last two weeks of May, I have photographed together with my partner Ramin Mazur, with whom I work together on a long-term project on the Black Sea, in the Danube Delta. Soon there probably will be a dedicated website. Here on my blog some pictures of this trip in several parts, first on fishing in the Delta, shortly before the opening of the fishing season this year. Fishing is the main source of income for many people living in the Delta. With fishing regulations and fishing licenses the authorities are trying to counteract the progressive overfishing, but for fishermen, this means primarily, that there is hardly enough for them to secure a tolerable livelihood. In the pictures you can see Mihail, during a stay in a fishermans´shelter on a tiny island in the reeds, in a seemingly impenetrable maze of small canals south of Sulina branch. In the morning the nets are caught, then passed in the usually sparse catch in this time of year to further processing operations. In the afternoon, after a rest, there is time to free the nets of algae and waterplants and mend the nets. Much remains not left after deducting all costs, especially for the license and the expensive petrol for the outboard motor. Antip, sitting in his dilapidated house in Sulina, waits for the start of the season, in winter, he tries to make a living out of the sale of scrap iron. The next picture shows the empty nets of Andrei after returning from the channel near Sulina, where he fishes mainly crucian carp and carp. On the other side of the Sulina branch are located the processing plants, where the fishermen deliver their catch every day...
