A congested marina that appeared to be crammed full of commercial fishing boats ( of all sizes ) and other vessels.

Long exposure shot of fishing nets in Alberoni - Venice's disticntive San marco's clock tower is clearly visible in the distance to the right of the picture
These fishing nets from the boat "Cirrus" are tightly wound up on a wheel. One can imagine how far they might stretch into the sea when deployed.
[Enlarge this shot to see the highlights on the nylon fishing nets.]

The tools of trade found on the quayside,the rustic colours of the drying nets and rope and the vibrant coloured buoy .
The nets themselves are in fact not coloured. The vibrant colours come from so-called “vispluis” (Dutch word). Vispluis, only used in Holland and Belgium, (translation: +/- fishing fluff) is the name used for the orange, green or blue plastic threads that are placed in bunches under bottom fishing nets. The bunches of plastic threads act as a buffer between the bottom and the net, protecting the net from wear.

As I’m still not getting out much, here is another of what may become a series of old shots that didn’t get to fall under the Flickr public's gaze.
This is from the first day I used my then new Fuji SL1000. I didn’t really know what I was doing, but I thought this would be the kind of picture a hobby photographer would take with his brand new serious-looking camera.
