| Fishing trawler, Danish North Sea coast Jorgen Faxholm Oil on board 2011 |
The habit of pulling the small North Sea trawlers from Thorup, Loekken, Vorupoer and other Danish West Coast villages up on the beach is fast disappearing. This way of fishing is not economic any more. The good news is that modern trawlers are larger, more effective and can take a bigger load. The bad news is, that they slowly trawl the waters empty of fish.
In 20 years this painting will indicate how fishing was done in the past - the same way the Skagen-painters showed what fishermen looked like around 1910.
All gone!
The only structures remaining on the beach might be the many German bunkers from WWII - at least for a while, as they are slowly being washed into the sea as well.
