A fisherman at Lake Burullus (Buhayrat al-Burullus), Kafr El Sheikh, Egypt, ties a rope knot by hand on a sandy shoreline. He wears a long-sleeve burgundy and white sports jersey and holds a braided rope with both hands, with a cloth tucked into his waistband — typical of working conditions for local fishermen. Lake Burullus is one of Egypt's largest coastal lagoons on the Mediterranean coast, historically significant as a source of livelihood for generations of fishing communities in the Nile Delta region.
