Close up of Troller

Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 6 November 2009 in Transportation and Portfolio.

This was taken on the other side of the spit where our lodging was. A quiet harbour in comparison to the one that we faced.

that looks so typical northwest. i love the deep green of the trees, and the reflection on the water, and of course, the gray sky. nicely done marion!

Beautiful shot - and I like the bit of blue building you captured to show the proximity.
Your title fascinates us; we're accustomed to trawlers, but not trollers, so I had to look it up.
Okay - I think I've got it; a troller uses lines with hooks, while a trawler uses nets.

I like this - try reading it three times through in rapid succession! :D
"The troller's objectives are much more similar to that of a recreational trawler owner, which is why most recreational trawlers resemble a troller more than they resemble a trawler."

@Judy: Truth be told, I don't know if this boat uses nets or lines with hooks. I didn't get close enough. Now you have me confused too, but that's what good friends are for, right? Ray said it was a troller, so I went with that. Thanks for the info though.

Trollers ? Trawlers ? Its all fish to me,but it's a good shot of a hard working boat.

these waterways must be lovely -- especially all the hidden spaces between the islets! ;) would be great for canoeing!

You caught the trawler at the right time to get a splendid composition, Marion.

Looks a bit like the end of the world, at least you managed to give the shot such a touch with the angle you chose! I like it!
