Today’s Top 5

Fisherman

Lobsterman, toymaker, puzzler, photographer. Likely also: boatwright, trap builder, sign painter, cabin crafter. Definitely a deck-swabber. Probably a philosopher, if you can get more than two words out of him.

Much has changed

Only the water remains the same.

Traps!

From a quick look, I think he was more interested in lobster trapping than fishing. Those traps look like the ones my uncle used many a year ago. The sign shows that he had an off-season vocation as well.
