Looking for a reason to go on
Alone again
On my own again
Now everything has turned
From right to wrong
Oh, trying to keep afloat
I'm on a sinking boat
Trying to keep afloat .....
Been working on this for the past week or so. I’ve been wanting to make a boat for a while now. I tried a couple times in the past using a similar design for the hull, but I never finished any of em. Woke up a few days ago with some inspiration to finish one of these bad boys, so I did. Had a lot of fun takin da pics in da bath tub. I got a lot of pics I liked and I couldn’t decide so I just posted all of them. sorry

'Afloat' is a huge circular donut shaped globe cast in bronze. Situated at the seaward end of the groyne in Brighton, its centre at eye level allows a view of our world through the sculpture.
The canal boat in the foreground is a replica of the barges that once traveled the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, but it has an upper deck to accommodate more tourists on short trips around Great Falls. For years, as the canal and its locks were repaired, the boat was in drydock. Now it floats, awaiting mules to haul it and passengers to ride -- if/when the pandemic ends. In the near distance is a canal lock and the park visitor center, which had been a tavern until a flood ended the canal's commercial operation in 1924.
Loch Etive is one of the most unique sea lochs in the UK. It is approx. 20 miles from the head of the loch to Connel Bridge, where it joins the Firth of Lorn forming the spectacular Falls of Lora, the only two-way tidal falls in Europe. Due to the two sets of narrows, at Bonawe and Connel, the loch has an extraordinary tidal system which gives a two hour difference between high water at Connel, and Bonawe, a distance of only 5 miles. This also has an effect on the salt content in the water - the surface layer of the water at the head of the loch can be almost fresh. The loch is over 400ft deep in places.
As you can imagine this environment attracts a very wide range of fish. It is one of the few places we have encountered where you can catch brown trout and pollack on the same tackle at the same mark! It is a good place to catch a wide range of species and it is relatively easy to catch half a dozen different types of fish in one session.
EDIT: To celebrate one year and 44,000 views, I'm giving away a print.
If you would like one, please leave a comment here and the name of the photo in my 'stream that you're interested in. I'll draw 1 name and ship the print to anywhere in the world.
(I'll even videotape the draw so you can see everyone gets a fair shot.)
Draw takes place August 1 (one year ago from the day I bought my first SLR.)
p.s. Thanks for your support.

Special Thanks to:
Victory Thrift Store - for the wedding dress
The staff at the Sally Borden Swimming Pool - for their generous support of this concept.
eye level with the water hyacinths (i'm in here with with my rubber boots, getting stuck in the muck) - this 'carpet' of hyacinths, which are not native to mexico, is afloat and drifting with in the wind and current and multiplies faster than they can remove it. - i really like this image, especially the lines and movement ((:
'Afloat' is a huge circular donut shaped globe cast in bronze by Hamish Black. Situated at the seaward end of the groyne, its centre at eye level allows a view of our world through the sculpture.
The donut or torus (a shape that has a continuous surface with a hole in it) has been posed as a possible model by scientists of how our universe may look. The sculpture was generated by taking a world globe and pressing the south and north poles together to form a torus. Now placed on its side the lines of longitude radiate from the central hole, linking the sea and sky. Across its surface are the shrunken shapes of the major continents, adrift like dark shadows.

Something different in nature but decided to take a photo. Colorful film, half of it shaded, in the shallow water along the shoreline. Looks like oil but it's not. This one about 4" long. See it every year in various places on the lake, some much larger. From what I've read it is likely oils produced by microbes and isn't harmful in small quantities. Unlike oil, it shatters when touched as you can see here when this one was pushed by the waves against the rocks. I liked that you can see submerged autumn foliage through it.
Saving a bunch of photos from my short walks at the park, sorry for so many. More to come since we will be very busy with Thanksgiving approaching. :)
