Azulejos panel, a photo from Aveiro, North

Photographer's Note

Panel of 'Azulejos' in which we can see some moliceiro boats picking up seaweeds from 'ria de Aveiro'. The dry seaweeds are used as fertilizer. In the background we can also see some mounts of salt.
In Aveiro is still produced salt, however this activity is decaying, as only old people, who have worked in this activity for all their lives (people who work producing salt are called marnotos),are still working in this activity

David
This is an excellent record shot of ceramic tiles. These types of shots are always worth taking as a set of pictures about the area. Colours and tones are good.
