I took these photographs one cold winter morning as the temperature was around 26 degree F, last year, in the Anchar Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir. The name of the lake literally means “Pickle”, and the fishermen who live near it live their lives in a pickle. The lake has been polluted so much over the years, with sewage and waste directly dumped into it from the areas nearby, that it is hard to find any fish. These fishermen take their boats in the lake very early in the morning for fishing, and in the day they clean whatever part of the lake they can.
