Tourists try stilt fishing in Galle, Sri Lanka, Oct. 3, 2023.

Stilt fishing is a method of fishing unique to the island country of Sri Lanka. Local fishermen sit on a crossbar called "petta", which is tied to a vertical pole driven into the sand a few meters offshore. From that position, a fisherman will cast his rod and wait until a fish takes the bait. (Photo by Ajith Perera/Xinhua)
