Pictured are fishing nets on the Thu Bon River, Hoi An, Vietnam. The fishing nets which can be raised up and down by a system of ropes and bamboo rollers from small huts close to the shore. To lift the net up, a man just needs to sit in his hut and use his feet for rolling the rope by the bamboo roller. When the fishing net is totally lifted up, the fisherman will row a small boat to the bottom of the net to get the fish out with a long thin bamboo stick. Then he just loosens the rope, and the net falls into the river again for the next catch. Hoi An is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
