Description
Up along the north coast of California is a sleepy little town called Ft. Bragg. Over the years Ft. Bragg has been many things, adapting along the way. Mostly now it is a tourist town where folks walk around and discover the past history of this town including the impact of logging the Redwoods in the area to the North Coast fisihing.
The fishing industry seems to be the latest industry to take an economic hit as the Salmon population shrinks and in some cases has been almost non-existant.
A few years ago they wouldn't even let the commercial boats out in order to protect the salmon.
It seems that perhaps thier effort may have produced positive effects as the salmon population seems to have rebounded the last few years.
This image capture an old fishing boat sitting at the docks. The boat itself is in working order and thier seemed to be a crew readying the boat for another trip out to see.
I really love these rustic old settings and this old boat with it's reflection in the water and the old warehouse next to it along side on the dock just seemed to be a perfect setting to show off the charm of this little town.
