After the sunrise shoot of the previous image, we had a wander around Bridlington harbour, which provided an absolute Smorgasbord of photo opportunities. This area was littered with the paraphernalia of the fishing industry, including ropes and lobster pots.
I decided to travel light for this section of the morning and predominately used my Canon R8, handheld with the RF28mm pancake lens, which gives a very light and compact combination.
While waiting for the ferry to Bruny Island I grabbed few shots in the marina at Kettering. These ropes on the yacht Juliene certainly attracted my attention.
Nautical ropes left on the sand, unattended and tangled.
I just liked the way the sunset light, and the approaching darkness touch those ropes, concealing and unravelling pieces of it, almost like a dance.
There are several small parks along Ocean Drive, which runs down some of the southwest side of Corpus Christi Bay, Texas. This is one, called Ropes Park, named after Elihu Harrison Ropes, a failed developer in the late 1800's. View large to read the plaque, which gives his story. I found it odd to name a park after a failed developer who gave up and returned to New York, but there it is. This park (and most of the others) mainly provide a place to park for joggers using the sidewalk that runs along the road and provides spectacular views of the bay.

One of the many abandoned boats that can be found on the beach at Dungeness.
Not exactly local to our normal stomping grounds and a fair old journey to get here by early afternoon (thanks JD). It was also pretty overcast so we were both looking for some mono opportunities. That said, I quite like the array of old machinery and various bits of flotsam that surround these decaying hulls and the range of colours that come with them.
Thanks as always for your interest and support.
Sorry---I posted this image in color, but then I realized it is much better in black and white. I hope anyone who saw the original will like this at least as much.
Intentional failure to see the big picture.
Everything looks better with roses. Specially when you are chilled getting some sun in a wintergarden warmth.

Solva (Welsh: Solfach) is a village, community and electoral ward in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The village comprises principally Lower Solva and Upper Solva. The community also includes Middle Mill and Whitchurch.
The rocks at the entrance to Solva Harbour made it one of the most sheltered anchorages between Fishguard and Milford Haven; it was marked on a 1578 parish map of Pembrokeshire as Dolvath Haven. On a 1748 map it is named Solvach.
Solva became the main trading centre of St Bride's Bay in the medieval period, and was important for lime burning. A prominent row of lime kilns is preserved at the harbour edge. By the end of the 18th century Solva had begun to expand, and could accommodate vessels of 500 tons, or up to 1,000 in an emergency. Some 30 vessels were registered to the port at this time, though this number reduced during the 19th century,[5][3] and during the 19th century, Solva had an RNLI lifeboat station. The fading coastal trade was replaced by tourism, and the harbour became a leisure boating centre.
In 1943 the RAF established an airfield, named RAF St Davids, but which now lies within Solva community. The area was the subject of an archaeological survey in 2000.

SUBJECT: ROPES FROM A "PARKED" BOAT
The boats have been "parked" behind the Boathouse for three years now. They haven't been used because of Covid but I heard that the reason this year is not because of Covid but because of the drought. The water level on the Lake is not high enough to have the boats or paddle boats to be allowed to be used. It's sad!
Have a HAPPY and a SAFE Weekend, Everyone!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
