I'm so happy with this shot!
I've had this idea for a year or 2 and never made it.
Until this afternoon!
And I'm so freakin happy I finally went ahead and tried it.
I think the result is even better than I had in mind :)

Always photographically interesting stuff on the quayside, floats and nets...
No matter which country you are in, strangely familiar!
Small floats were usually made of cork, but fishermen in places where cork was not available used other materials, like birch bark in Finland and Russia, as well as the pneumatophores of Sonneratia caseolaris in Southeast Asia. These materials have now largely been replaced by plastic foam.
Glass floats were large glass balls for long oceanic nets, now substituted by hard plastic. They are used not only to keep fishing nets afloat, but also for dropline and longline fishing. Often larger floats have marker flags for easier spotting.
These looked to me like the sweets on a bracelet or necklace, when I was young??? LOL
Thanx for all your words, time, comments and likes. Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

We were told that in its day it was very advanced and all the workers used to fight to get to drive it
I was wanting to add a pic underneath this -- however it all seems to have changed and I can't find how to do it -- used to go into all sizes but not getting the right information any more -- can anyone help

A papercut, handpainted in my favorite shade of blue.
It reminds me of old woodcuts.

The We're Here! gang is saying goodbye to February today.
The photography class I'm in had a field trip today. The location was in my neck of the woods, and as a bonus, I guided them to the Spirit Trail, and this fab view of colourful float homes. Just over the far-right grey home, you can see a little snow on the mountains. The cloud is obscuring the twin peaks we call "The Lions" -- a local landmark. (I put a photo of them in comments).
Long before we called them "The Lions", they were Ch'ich'iyúy ElxwÃkn, which translates to "Twin Sisters" or "Two Sisters" in the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) language. They represent a sacred legend of peace, symbolizing two sisters who brought warring nations together.
Either way, you can't see them because of the clouds. LOL
Entry to fants contest. Guess it’s me in some strange dystopia where we all float and wear kabuki masks. Also the hairs dyed. I’m not ginger hehe
When the North Pacific Cannery was closed in 1968 everything was left laying exactly as it was on the day that it was closed, including all the nets, floats and a host of other things. Fascinating to step back into this time and imagine everyone getting the notice that it was closing and just walked away.
Like life, we must stay afloat! Like this little boy who braved the water of Pasig River just to collect plastics and asked alms under this Fort Santiago walk bridge just to stay afloat in LIFE. So you brave boy, FLOAT ON!

It caught my eye because it looked suspended in mid-air ... and also because it's pink and I love a sweet pink and green colour combo.
Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day.
Well we'll float on, good news is on the way.
And we'll all float on OK. And we'll all float on OK.
And we'll all float on OK. And we'll all float on.
Alright already, we'll all float on.
No don't you worry. We'll all float on.
Alright, already. We'll all float on.
Alright, don't worry. We'll all float on.

Freshmen year is coming to a close and it's been a helluva year. At times, it felt like everything bad that could happen, did happen (Damn you Murphy). But no matter how dark it got, I just kept pushing towards the light and I've managed to Float On.

to get where im going , i need to know where to go.
i dont know when or how to start, its something i dont know.
for blind man to see would be a miracle, but why would he want to see what were doing with the planet, with society.
in my eyes if they have an image of the world in there head, its more beautiful in there.
you could fall in love over personality rather then looks, being who you are, is beautiful.
dont regret anything that you made you smile, if it made you happy, then why throw it all away?
if you want to do something, you should go out and do it. if you believe you can fly, then friggen go for it. find a way for you to fly. things can be hard, but nothing can be impossible. someday everyone will be happy. everyone will have completed there dream, wether its on this planet or the land after.
dont jump if your afraid of the fall,
you wont know what to expect, you may hit the ground.
just keep an open mind , listen to the sounds.
and remember, what goes up.. must come down.
I chose a fishing float as my answer to today's prompt. I thought a fishes eye view would be appropriate or maybe that should have been a worm's eye view!
