1. Title: A Traditional Coastal Pastime: Gathering Limpets in Birsay, Orkney, Scotland (1908) 2. Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the image of an old man, deeply engrossed in his daily routine, as he gathers limpets from the rocky shoreline at Birsay, Orkney, Scotland. Dressed in a simple, weathered fisherman's sweater and trousers, the man carefully selects limpets from the jagged cliffs, using a small, curved tool to pry them off the rocks. The vast, open coastline stretches out behind him, with the crashing waves creating a rhythmic backdrop to his labor. The rugged cliffs, dotted with patches of greenery, frame the scene, while the sky above is a mix of clouds and sunlight. The old man's focus is unwavering as he continues his search for the edible mollusks, a staple food source for the residents of this remote, coastal community. 3.
