Gironde Carralet
The Gironde is the river that flows through the city of Bordeaux and then out to the Atlantic via a sizeable estuary. Carralets are fishing jetties, many of them still operational which have a very appealing rickety structure. Fishing is done by lowering a very large net at the end of the jetty and then raising is again hopefully full of estuary fish. I’ve been there twice so far and I have to say that the combination of the Carralets, the scenery and the food and wine made it one of my most pleasurable photography expeditions yet.
Photographs in this album include: We value our privacy, Dreamy carralet, Paintbox carralet, Carralet, Blue sticks, Double jetty, and Gironde Carrelet at dusk.
