Landscape with Fishermen and Farmers Extracting Peat in a Marsh

description

Summary

Here, peat –an important source of fuel –is being extracted from below the water table, a common technique in the west and north of the Netherlands. The man in the little boat dredges the peat from the water; it is then spread out on the ground. The woman in the distance stamps the peat drying in the sun into a hard mass. This is subsequently cut with a spade into easy-to-use blocks, which are then left to dry out fully.

Set of images depicting various harbors, ports, and piers together with ships, fishing and sailing boats, and all types of haven-like places and views. All large image sets on Picryl.com are made in two steps: First, we picked a set to train AI vision to recognize the feature, and after that, we ran all 25M+ images in our database through an image recognition machine. As usual, all media in the collection belong to the public domain. There is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial.
