It has been awhile since I've posted a rope photo. Anyone following me knows I love photographing its texture, colour, and unique characteristics. I always feel like it has an interesting history and a story to tell.
This one was set up as a barrier on the side of a cliff that dropped straight into our frigid Atlantic. Bet it has seen some pretty spectacular waves, sunrises, and no doubt, chilly, chilly days!
When I took this photo back in 2008 I thought it would look good painted large. Version 1 with several layers of mixing of medias in photoshop. Too much fun!
It was a very dry year, the pastures were brown, a red ute travels the back country road. I suspect the possum proof band around the power pole is tell tail sign it's New Zealand.
Just because I thought these ropes lying on a dock in the late afternoon sun looked kinda cool.
Pillar Point Harbor, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.
The islets are made of multiple natural layers harvested in Lake Titicaca: The base is made of large pallets of floating Totora roots, which are tied together with ropes and covered in multiple layers of totora reeds. These dense roots that the plants develop and interweave form a natural layer called Khili (about one to two meters thick), which are the main flotation and stability devices of the islands. They are anchored with ropes attached to large Eucalyptus poles driven into the bottom of the lake.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

Lots of ropes keeping this boat moored at the Marina, Porthmadog.
