Well ... I feel like I have just visited GOOD art gallery. How can I put this .... Victorian still life often embaced the theme of dead meat. This one reminds me of that historical background ... It's got all the structural integrity but here the arrangement of elements here is based on practicality rather contrivance. It's honest.

I thought it looked like Tsukiji -- there's no other place quite like it in the world, IMO. Nice capture, Moti.

Thank you very much guys for your nice comments. These are effectively frozen Tuna fish getting ready for the daily tuna auction at the fish market in Tokyo. It is one of the most exciting events I've seen in Tokyo that shouldn't be missed, even if you have to get up before 4am to get there on time.

It's a herd of Flippers.:-(

BUT - what an excellent 'catch', Moti. The figure walking in the distance really ties the photo together for me. Perfect!
