Photograph by David Coleman. The image depicts a solitary fisherman standing on an old stone wall in Beaumaris, a historic town on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales. This scene captures a moment of tranquility and tradition along the Welsh coastline, showcasing the enduring appeal of sea angling in this picturesque setting. The stone wall on which the fisherman stands is likely part of the town's sea defenses, built to protect Beaumaris from the tides of the Menai Strait. These walls, weathered by centuries of exposure to the elements, are a testament to the town's long history and its intimate relationship with the sea. The fisherman, silhouetted against the water and sky, represents a connection to traditional coastal activities that have been practiced in this area for generations. Sea angling from the shore is a popular pastime in Anglesey, with the Menai Strait known for its variety of fish species including bass, mackerel, and various flatfish. In the background, the waters of the Menai Strait stretch out, separating Anglesey from the mainland of Wales. On a clear day, the mountains of Snowdonia would be visible on the horizon, providing a dramatic backdrop to this peaceful coastal scene.
