Morning Work at the Harbor

On this quiet morning in Green Island, the harbor was far from still. The workers moved with a rhythm shaped by experience—lifting, carrying, calling out to one another as freshly caught fish were hauled from the boat to the truck. The black-and-white tones made the scene feel even more timeless, highlighting the strength, teamwork, and unspoken understanding behind every motion.
