An old fishing poem used to say:

Count that day lost
Whose low descending sun,
Sees from thy hand
No pleasant fishing done!

alas for the fish.....

Enjoy the Stream, O harmless fish;
And when an angler for his dish,
Through glutton's vile sinne.
Attempts, the wretche, to pull thee out.
God give thee strength, O gentle trout,
To pull the raskall in!

from the Scottish Field, January, 1943

Hello

A very nice find. I like geoglyphs and carvings very much.

Here's another one, I'm not shure if these are whales or fish. It could be whales cause there is a whales sanctuary near, but the tail fin don't looks like it is from a whale.

Greetings Felippo

Felippo , that is 2000 ft long! Wow! It appears to be a top view looking down at a mother whale and her calf. A very impressive piece of work and a great find.

Felippo,

That is an amazing find!
The mother and calf maybe Pacific Bottlenose dolphin!

I actually helped create this - spent a day shoveling oyster shells in and out of a truck - but it took a year to make. It is two gray whales - mother and calf - created by laying out a 8 foot wide path of oyster shells on the ground. The are tons of shells in the lagoon from hundreds of years of harvest. The local-born artist also has other works of art throughout the Baja peninsula.
