Wire you here?
Washed up or, perhaps more likely, hauled up onto the landwash at the breakwater in Quidi Vidi Gut.
I went on Friday morning to see the impressive icebergs grounded a half mile out but like this picture better than what I got of the bergs. The cable is about as wide as my forearm and there seems to be about fifty feet of it there strewn in a little ditch in the rocks supporting the breakwater. I don't know what it served as but it looks like it is fifty years old or more. TransAtlantic cables and WW2 anti-submarine defenses spring to mind, but maybe it's an underwater power cable, and thus the three thick wires at the core. Perhaps it is an artefact of the US military base that existed a half mile inland from here in the 1940s and '50s. Got any guesses?
Reala film in my Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic camera and its SMC Takumar f/1.4 lens, shot wide open.
