In this print captured by Petr Josek Snr, we witness the age-old tradition of carp fishing in the village of Bosilec near the south Bohemian town of Trebon. A group of skilled fishermen can be seen pulling a net filled with an abundance of fish from a serene lake. The image beautifully showcases their strength and determination as they work together to bring in their catch. This annual event, known as the traditional carp haul, holds great significance for Czech culture, particularly during Christmas Eve dinners. Carp has long been a staple dish on Czech tables during this festive season, making it an integral part of their culinary heritage. The picturesque setting adds to the charm and tranquility depicted in this photograph. Nestled amidst southern Bohemian lakes, Bosilec exudes natural beauty that serves as a perfect backdrop for such timeless traditions. Petr Josek's lens captures not only the environmental aspect but also highlights our connection with animals and how they play a vital role in shaping cultural practices around the world. This visually stunning image reminds us of our deep-rooted relationship with nature and its bountiful offerings.
