notes:
I made this picture in Moynak (Uzbekistan), last June. From 1960 to 80 this little town was a very busy fishery port. Now the waters of the Sea are 300 km (!!!) away, but the ships and boats are still there. Like waiting for a better future.
But there is no future, not for Moynak !!!
I whitnessed one of the greatest catastrophe, which happend in the last decade.

INCREDIBLE!!!!!
It must be so terrible for the older people to change into something else...when they have been Fishermen all their lives.....
Very interesting story you tell us!!! but sad...
Fascinating photo....
