Mist fishing in the Atacama



In the driest place on earth people cast nets into the sky, catching water from lost sea mist like strange spiders weaving webs for dew, like sky fisherman or farmers of the unseen - harvesting and milking water though it does not rain. Okay so it's actually just a very clever and practical way of collecting water where it seems there isn't any, but I can't help but romanticise it - mist fishing! Tis too perfect...
