Smile on Saturday theme : Balancing act

Batumi, Georgia

Plenty of examples of sailors creativity with rope in this image.

Taken with 10-20mm Sigma

Unfortunately the boat is a little bit blurred due to the long exposure time to get the calm water.

Return to Glenmacnass Waterfall.

The colours of the photo are completely natural showing the Purple Moorgrass of a straw colour, the yellow Gorse and the russet hue of the dead Bracken. There are also boulders thrown up during the last ice age and few sheep that Id throw in a sack and bring home for Sunday roast if I could! The mountains and valleys have all sprung back to life in the last few weeks and I hope to revisit this week. Anybody got a rope? Or a sheep?

Pat.

This is a quite new rope bridge at the Leitersteig (literally: ladder trail). The bridge substitute a whole bunch of ladders that were necessary to cross this gorge by climbing down and up on ladders. Because the whole construction is hanging freely on ropes of steel it is quite a swinging matter. Real fun :-)

Das ist eine relativ neue Brücke am Leitersteig. Dieser Steig hat den Namen durch die vielen Leitern, die nötig waren, um diese Schlucht erst runter und dann rauf über Leitern zu überwinden. Nachdem diese Leitern im Frühjahr durch reißende Gebirgsbäche regelmäßig zerstört wurden, hat man vom Alpenverein diese Hängebrücke gebaut. Das ist eine schöne schwingende Angelegenheit, weil die ganze Konstruktion frei schwebend an Stahlseilen aufgehängt ist. Eine richtige Gaudi, halt :-)

With some Topaz Glow added in.

Still have more photos from Sri Lanka to come!

This one is taken near Galle, Sri Lanka. The tour guide said this traditional way of coconut rope manufacturing is fading out since it's very labour intensive and factories can do it much better. Sri Lankans use every bit of a coconut from farming to building houses!

In this photo the guy is pushing wet coconuts up a little stream to another worker who scoops it up into a machine.

the rope..

A rough rope tied around a wooden post to make a temporary fence at the Fort Worth Stockyards.

Those concrete poles are on the beach near Nieuwpoort. They are gigantic, about 4-5 m high. Will be going back to this location, wasn't that happy about cloudfomrations.

Macro Mondays: String

Rio Grande SD9s No. 5306 and 5309 drag a heavy “Roper Turn” along Backman’s curve in Provo, Utah the afternoon of Aug. 19, 1979.

My muse is an eccentric mistress. Whilst on holiday, I went out to photograph fishing boats but I came back with photos of flies strolling along a fishing net.

Double Exposure in-camera

Practice roping at my nephew's arena on the farm where I grew up. This fellow was a good roper.
