The Argument

Nusfjord, Norway

These hanging fish heads seem to be arguing about something.

Nusfjord is one of Norway's oldest fishing villages and serves as a living museum (except of course for the fish) of Norway's cod fish industry. Taken on a Transient Light Workshop.

Thanks for having a look.

You're welcome. You are making a statement, that these fish heads seem to be arguing about something.

Assuming that you are asking for the viewer's perception of this idea, I guess I would answer that question by saying the something they might be arguing about could well be their early demise. All sentient beings want to live and be happy. Perhaps this image testifies to a terrible fact of nature that countermands that wish.

I'm guessing that these comments are germane to the reason you posted this image. I'm just guessing since you didn't state your intent explicitly.

I would be angry too if I was hung out to dry!

They are not very pretty here, but they sure do taste good!

You've conveyed your message quite clearly, Eva. Well done.

Your photos are certainly evocative, Eva, and so is this one. I find it disturbing and shocking and can't take my eyes off it...
