Hanging man in the dawn
Dawn breaks gold over Lake Burullus, Egypt. The intricate skeleton of traditional fishing boats is cast in dramatic silhouette, framing the intense, rising sun. High above the water, a solitary fisherman hangs from the rigging—a powerful embodiment of labor and tradition—actively hoisting the sail into position, signaling the start of the journey for the day’s catch across the Nile Delta
