In last week’s post titled Texture for Sunday, the focus was on some of the extreme aging that can be affected by weather conditions. As I continue to explore this theme, today’s image is more about the contrast between textures…
This image is from the same visit to the Herring Era Museum in Siglufjördur, Iceland, as last week’s entry. This is a little detail about the packing of the freshly caught herring in salt to preserve it for the long months when there might be no catch, or for transportation to far away Europe and America.
I wanted to get a bit of the sense that someone might come back from their break any moment to pick up the shovel and get to work on their hard day’s labor.
