A Black And White Photo In Landscape Format. Stretching From The Right Margin Towards The Left Margin Is A Large Wooden Frame. It Is 'A' Shaped, 3 Or 4 Metres High And Perhaps 30 Metres Or More Long. It Has Long Wooden Poles Running Lengthwise And Separated Vertically At Intervals Of About Half A Metre. Hanging Over The Poles Are Headless Fish Arranged In Pairs: Tied Together At The Tail And Then Hung Over The Pole. The Fish Are Then Separated Horizontally By About Half A Metre. Over The Frame Is A Large Fine Plastic Net To Deter Hungary Birds. The Hanging Fish Stretch For Nearly 10 Metres Before There Is An Empty Gap Of 10 Metres Before Another Group Of Hanging Fish. The Frame Is A Fish Flake Or Hjell In Norwegian, The Fish Are Probable Stockfish Drying. These Are Unsalted Fish (Unlike Klippfisk) That Are Preserved Through Fermentation Similar To That Of Cheese. A Process That Would Give The Fish A Shelf Life Of Several Years.
The Location Is Honningsvåg, Norways Most Northern Town, High Above The Arctic Circle, 71º North Of The Equator (2023).
