Newhaven Harbour

and the Grey Heron - ED004

Newhaven is Edinburgh’s fishing village and is a favourite haunt for photographers at sunset.
There is a long history of fishing and the fishwives of Newhaven were celebrated and documented by the early pioneers of photography in the city.

The only fisherman on this evening was the Grey Heron who was waiting patiently for its supper in a slowly receding tide, as the sky turned all shades of gorgeous.

Check out the history of the Newhaven and Fisherrow Fishwives over here at Andy Arthur’s most excellent blog.
