Unless you are in Atlantis or some other sunken city, trying to catch a fish on the basketball court could seem like an extremely weird sport ...
... and although my hometown could look like a remarkably normal place with a firm grip to reality ... sometimes, while passing through Medulin, you can witness exactly that ...

... large fishing nets, spread over the recreational area ... waiting for the basket - fish ... or the definitive polar ice melting accompanied by big flooding of the coastal towns all around the blue planet.
It looks funny and surreal but there is a rational explanation :D.

The recreational area is in the port ... very near to the main fishing dock ...

... and this large flat square paved with asphalt ...
... is the ideal place to lay the nets, when comes the time to do some repairs.
So the local crew of sardine hunters ...

... appears here occasionaly ... once a year aproximately ... like a very peculiar
basketball team ... Medulin's Fishing Lakers could be the name :D ...
... and proceeds to work on the nets until they are again as new.

This year a fluffy little sailor dog that I never noticed before, was in the Sardine hunting organization ...
... and he did a great job in coordinating and channelling the human efforts.
He looked like the captain, to be honest.
This is a short, one day spectacle ... and just like Easter or Christmas, it doesn't happen very often ...
... so I'm very glad that I did a little walk around the bay on that day ... so I could publish this post and break a bit the continuity of Insect related blog entries.
