Dangerous job

Spotted this musselfisher when we visited Dodanduwa, a small fishing harbour where the fishingboats come in early in the morning.
It's a small natural bay and I saw a man going back and forth as the waves surrounded him.
So I climbed up and saw what he was doing.
A sharp knife in one hand and always looking to the sea bacause he had to react when a big wave came in.
A collegue of him told us the mussels are expensive , 400 rupees per kilo ( 100 rupees is ? 0,65) so he was risking his life for ? 2,60 each time he fished one kilo.

Look also here and here when he had to run (at bare feet).

Here is where he was standing
Stunning.

Here in LARGE....
