Brake, screeech and stop.

Driving by the highway I saw this interesting pile of baskets strung together. So I made a quick step on the brakes, screeched my tires a bit and stopped by the roadside to capture this through the windshield. I asked around and was told that these were crab traps made of bamboo. They were weighed down on the sea floor with stones and a fish bait is put inside the basket through the center hole to lure the crabs. A rope, long enough to put a buoy above the water, is tied to it to guide the fishermen next time they came back to check. I asked if the crabs won't just go back out of the hole after eating the bait and was told that for some reason they can't because their long claws get stuck into the weave of the basket.
