Passing USA air traffic leave leave their mark in the clear skies above the harbour.....

sorting fish on the market, an oblique reminder of the heyday of distant water boats, standing thigh deep in fish after hauling, the men would start gutting and repeat, "one in the hand, one in the air, one in the washer, one in the hand, one in the air, ...".....
Newlyn is lucky enough to have possibly the finest fish landed on any market in the UK, here the Scorpio puts another superb trip ashore.....
including these huge red mullet, undoubtedly some of which will find their way on to the slab of a certain Chelsea Fishmonger.

I think your pictures are fab. As for chelsea bound it seems we just arn't rich enough in sw3 as we managed only 3kgs of this red mullet bounty. The rest have gone elsewhere to somebody that has paid crazy money - maybe next time.
