In the distance, the few forlorn figures, men and women, are hard at work on the beach against what is apparently failing light amidst the iridescent clouds. They appear as darkened shadows but quivering in the uncertain weather conditions. Yes, a storm might be heading their way, and quick hands make quick work, as it has been a long day, and there’s nothing more salving than a nice meal of vegetables and a little of the catches that they could spare for themselves. |
