Hi, I visit your photo page regularly and I really like your pictures! Thank you for posting such beautiful pictures.
I didn't know about the sardine industry - really nice statue and super photo with the autumn leaves.
Not much money for so much work. A very interesting statue showing how the little sardines are smoked.
