In this full-length shot, a group of stilt fishermen can be seen skillfully balancing on their staffs outside amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Indian Ocean. Dressed in vibrant turbans and traditional clothing, these male fishermen demonstrate their deep connection with nature as they hold onto their poles with unwavering determination. Against the backdrop of a clear blue sky and shimmering ocean waves, they exemplify the timeless art of fishing that has been passed down through generations.
