I like it but probably need some context to understand what they are doing!

They're fishing. It's a new sport that's designed to save the oceans. It's supposed, as a side effect, to displace the chess players as the next cliché for city pictures. This is only a pilot scheme; if it catches on, expect to see similar tanks making an appearance at a pedestrain thoroughfare near you.

Ah, the joys of fishing! Alone in the wilderness, with solitude, silence, peace and quiet for meditation, ...

Far from it. This was taken at on of the night markets in Taipei. These guys were very serious about it though.
