Sunday sunrise and crab boats

Only on a Sunday will you find the crab boats idle at sunrise in Hoopers Islands on the Eastern Shore. Six days a week, the waterman leave before the sun to spend the day on the water like their fathers before them. Sundays are for church and families. This gives a early rising photographer a chance to catch the reflections of these workboats at the dock.
