I was looking at some older photos and ran across a photo of a green glass float. I cropped it quite a bit for this image. I took this on on nearby Bailey Island. They often are made of recycled glass and the process is done quickly resulting in bubbles of air trapped in the glass.
Glass floats, glass fishing floats, or Japanese glass fishing floats are popular collectors' items. They were once used by fishermen in many parts of the world to keep their fishing nets, as well as longlines or droplines afloat.
Large groups of fishnets strung together, sometimes 50 miles (80 km) long, were set adrift in the ocean and supported near the surface by hollow glass balls or cylinders containing air to give them buoyancy. These glass floats are no longer being used by fishermen, but many of them are still afloat in the world's oceans, primarily the Pacific. They have become a popular collectors' item for beachcombers and decorators. Replicas are also being manufactured. (wikipedia)

123 Pictures in 2023 #113 "Waterproof"
This DeHaviland DHC2 "Beaver" is landing in one of the lakes that form "Big Lakes River" that feeds Redoubt Bay off of the Cook Inlet. I chose this for this topic because the floats must be waterproof to support the airplane on top of the water. I caught this as we were given a sightseeing trip around the lake after our bear viewing came to an end (all the bears left).

Wrangell, Alaska, November 11, 2009 - Anan Creek is the second most heavily visited bear viewing site in southeast Alaska. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project being undertaken here replaces the float system that supports the living quarters for employees who provide visitor services to the viewing site. In this photo employees tow the new float with building atop to the Wrangell harbor, where the contractor will finish the project.
The Bascule bridge connecting Birkenhead to Wallasey. There are three crossing points this one is the central crossing of the great float and West float in the dock system and is named Duke St Bridge. It was constructed in 1929-31 by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board on the site of an earlier mid 19th century swing bridge.
He crossed the length of the pool in sweats. For a kid who couldn't float a month ago it is an amazing accomplishment. He had a really great swim teacher. Patient, silly, encouraging, she was great with him.

Bloody vision problems! But at least I managed to get a sketch of the bloody things this time. These kind of flickering, flashing filaments that start small, and then expand over my entire field of vision in highly psychedelic fashion - while completely sober!
I have discovered that my condition has a name - "flashing lights" or ophthalmic migraine - so I'm not going mad! (Just yet)
This is probably the second, maybe third time it's happened. To start with, it just looks like a kind of afterimage, or maybe dead cells in the eye fluid, but it doesn't fade and it doesn't float off. Doesn't matter if your eyes are open or closed, it stays in your field of vision, at first tiny, about the size of a pea, but slowly it grows and expands.
This is the first time I've noticed it from the very start - the last time, I only really noticed when it was in its last stage, a huge, neon snake across my peripheral vision. They glow, they flicker - I can't really convey it in a static drawing. The colours are stark black and white, with prismatic edges, and do not remain constant, cycling through the colours of the rainbow like an LSD hallucination, though I assure you, these things happen when I'm completely sober.
It starts as a tiny circle, barely enough to notice. The circle elongates, then bursts at one end, so that it forms a snake-like shell. I've tried to draw them to scale, if you imagine the whole image as the entire field of vision of one eye. They float on top of, and only partially obscure my vision - kind of like the distortion in a badly compressed jpeg. But it's distracting, and makes concentration difficult and reading almost impossible. You can't look directly at it; if you try, your eye slides off it, driving it across your field of vision. But try to stare at something else, a black dot on a sheet of white paper for example, and you can study it in detail.
The first time it happened, I thought I was going blind or going mad. But the "snake" continued to expand until it hit the periphery of my vision and then faded from view. The only thing for it, really, is to lie down in a dark room and close your eyes, try not to think about it.
I have no idea what causes them - fatigue, eye strain, LSD flashbacks, caffeine overdose or what. But they are strangely beautiful, once I stop being terrified that I'm going to lose my eyesight. Again, I have to wonder how they have subconsciously affected my drawing style!
