The American annual of photography . ast, acurious conglomeration of red roofed houses huddled togetheron a sloping cliff facing the North Sea with no streets, butonly narrow cobbled footways wandering here and there andup and down among the houses, with a wider path than theothers serving as a high street leading down to the seashorewith its Hard coils of cordage swarthy fishing of rusty fluke, and boats updrawn.
