Nature's Tenacity
Nikon FE with Vivitar 17-28 lens and Kodak Ektar 100 film. Riis Park has gradually been renovated and where possible, the original design is carried forward. In the case of these railings, no nails or screws are used as one plank is attached to another. Each plank is notched and when matched together holes are side-drilled for wooden pegs to be hammered in - then the pegs are cut off and finished. Elegant . . but can it survive the current tendency of people to . . . what is the word I am looking for? You can guess. Atlantic Ocean in the far distance.
A very windy end of day - really pushing me around. I could not believe plants would take hold in the joint of this railing. Opened the aperture as wide as possible to get the fastest speed.
