Crustacean Condos - Lobster Pots Take Over Holy Island Ruins!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, Duncan Usher captures the quirky clash of ancient ruins and modern fishing practices on Holy Island in Northumberland, UK. As if straight out of a whimsical fairytale, lobster pots have taken over the foreground, transforming the serene coastal landscape into a bustling crustacean community. The juxtaposition is both comical and thought-provoking. Who would have imagined that these abandoned monastic ruins would become prime real estate for lobsters? Perhaps it's their way of paying homage to the island's rich history while creating an unconventional seaside neighborhood. As we gaze at this extraordinary scene, our imagination runs wild with stories of lobster families settling down in their cozy basket homes. Do they hold neighborhood meetings inside those pots? Are there underwater schools where little lobsters learn how to pinch properly? One thing is for sure - these lobster pots add a vibrant splash of color against the backdrop of weathered stone walls. They stand as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability in utilizing every available space for commercial fishing. So next time you visit Lindisfarne's Holy Island, keep an eye out for these peculiar "Crustacean Condos". You might just catch a glimpse of fishermen hauling up their tasty treasures or witness lobsters scuttling around like tiny landlords amidst ancient ruins. It's nature's way of reminding us that even in unexpected places, life finds its own
