Please email me, quoting this number if you\u2019d like to license use of this image or purchase a fine art print.<\/em><br \/>\nI spend a couple of weeks working off in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, a few miles off the Nile delta, a while back.\u00a0 It was mid-winter, and we spent much of the time dodging gales.\u00a0 Although we were in a fairly substantial boat, waves piled up high in the shallow waters off the delta, so work was completed in brief sorties, then running back to port with four or five metres waves chasing us.\u00a0 When the sea was calm however, it was absolutely beautiful, with the most stunning sunsets.\u00a0 Calm weather also brought out large numbers of fishing trawlers.\u00a0 At one time I counted twelve trawlers all within sight of us; it seems highly unlikely that such fishing is sustainable and indeed I\u00a0saw precious little catch when nets were hauled.\u00a0 As the sun set all nest were hauled and the boats headed back to port leaving us with the sea to ourselves until the sun rose again.\u00a0 I watched this boat inch past the dipping sun, with an almost blood red sky as a backdrop.\u00a0 There has been vistually no editing to this image &#8211; the sky really did look like that.\u00a0 Sometimes you have to really work to get great pics, and sometime you just need to be there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I watched this boat inch past the dipping sun, with an almost blood red sky as a backdrop<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,210,208,155,168,1],"tags":[23,143,206,1114,1115,1113,211,163,161,18],"class_list":["post-509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-egypt","category-fishing-boats","category-mediterranean","category-sunsets","category-travel","category-uncategorized","tag-colin-munro","tag-colin-munro-photography","tag-dramatic-sky","tag-egypt","tag-fishing-boats","tag-mediterranean","tag-nile-delta","tag-silhouette","tag-sunset","tag-trawlers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/colinmunrophotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/colinmunrophotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/colinmunrophotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colinmunrophotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colinmunrophotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/colinmunrophotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2071,"href":"https:\/\/colinmunrophotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509\/revisions\/2071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colinmunrophotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colinmunrophotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colinmunrophotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
