Day 178 - Rusted - Anchor Chain





I went to one of the local seafood restaurants where there were buoys, anchors, and ropes of some of those great ocean ships bringing in fresh seafood. They outlined the parking lot and were really cool to see. I didn't get to take as many as I would have liked as I was dodging lightening bolts that day. An additional note, you really can't tell from this shot the size of these chains. I didn't have a way to measure their girth. But it was the largest chain I had ever seen. I was standing in front of the pile and used the 105mm lens. Check the 2nd picture and see if that helps to imagine.
Well I know it wasn't you who held me down, Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free,So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key......Eagles, Already Gone

Boy, they do look massive! I like your composition in the top shot, with the buoys (?) in the background. Great colors too...

The profusion of corrosion is a celebration of observation with great texture in the mixture.

My goal in art, photography and my writing is to express my emotions, thoughts, feelings, and occasionally opinions. I think color is the most important thing, along with sounds (music), taste and smells. Art should be something that heightens the senses, all of them. A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed....Ansel Adams Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art....Ansel Adams There is nothing worse than a brilliant image of a fuzzy concept....Ansel Adams The images of the art work and photographs on this website are the property of top5cats.
