This is one of my all time favourite image because of its unusualness, This is again off the shore at Whitstable kent, England taken on the same morning as the previous posting, we came across this fisherman wading about 100 yards in the sea but what makes this for unusual is those wind turbines in the distance ! I have not seen anything like this before!
Come see this photo and others at our new exhibit at Num Bing & Clifton Howlett's gallery

"A propeller is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral, that, when rotated, ... transforms rotational power into linear thrust" (Wikipedia).
Ignore the Exif data. This image was taken with the 35mm Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at F0.95.

“In 1984 Gurudeva planted 108 trees with his own hands. He dedicated this forest to pilgrims and all Kauaians, inviting them to sit among the sacred trees to rest, meditate, have a picnic or tell stories to their children. Today the trees are fifty feet tall and produce hundreds of thousands of fruits each year. The English name is Blue Marble tree, since the one-inch diameter fruits are a rare cobalt blue. Their unusual color was written about in a Scientific American article. It seems there are two, and only two, living species on the Earth that create color using refraction and not reflection: a deep-sea crustacean and Eleocarpus ganitrus, the Rudraksha tree. Underneath the blue skin is a thin layer of flesh which is edible, but not too tasty. In Ayurveda, Rudraksha seeds, ground with healing herbs, are given to patients of heart disease to strengthen the cardiac muscle. The wood is also unusual. Almost white in color, it is said to have been the wood of choice in World War I for making airplane propellers; and in India the trees practically became extinct when they were chosen as the timber for railroad ties.”

Auch Fischerboote müssen regelmäßig von Algen und Muscheln gereinigt werden. Hier sieht die Schiffsschraube und das Ruderblatt schon sehr sauber aus. Im Sonnenlicht glänzte das Messing der gesäuberten Schraube.

Fishing boats also have to be regularly cleaned of algae and mussels. Here the propeller and the rudder blade look very clean. The brass of the cleaned screw gleamed in the sunlight.
