Pier Mooring Ropes

taken at sunset 1 minute after the sun left the decking while it was still on the Harbormaster building and boats. I tweaked the saturation a tiny bit in PS, otherwise unchanged.

You have discovered some divine proportions here Mary! Now did an artistic mariner just happen to leave the rope like this or were you tampering with it? #508142Leanne M.E. Boyd August 22, 2006
I like however it was createred - it has design, creativity, and a quiet power. Excellent shot, Mary! #3198645Emile Abbott August 22, 2006
I can definitely relate to this, Mary. Well presented. #3198762Michelle J. Harvey August 22, 2006
What a great find and capture Mary!! Love the comp and design :) #3198775Adilson F. Ferreira August 22, 2006
Wonderful textures and composition Mary!!! #3198980Mary N C. Taitt August 22, 2006
Thank you so much Kate, Leanne, Emile, Michelle and Adilson.I did not "tamper with" or touch this, it is exactly as I found it. Not only that, but I probably have 75-100 similar pictures over the years as all the mariners here do that with their mooring ropes so that they are tangle-free and come up easily when they're in a hurry to leave--plus at makes an attractive presentation along the wharves and piers. #3199003

I took that one last night. Here's another from July 05, but not quite so "fancy" (maybe that's what you meant). They do do various combinations and permutations on the theme!!! #3199074Mary N C. Taitt August 22, 2006

WOW - neat!! Actually we always do a bowline around the cleat and take it back to the boat so the spare line is in the boat! #3199438Mary N C. Taitt August 22, 2006
Thanks. Not being a boat person, I don't really know why they do that but they always do here--that is, probably 90% or more of the boaters here do it that way. It was new to me when I came here because I don't recall seeing or doing that in NY. #3199447Tiffany Chance August 22, 2006

Absolutely fantastic capture..My first impression was like some before me..that you has somehow arranged the ropes. The discussion made for some good reading. Anyway, this certainly demonstrates your powers of observation. Great job, Mary!!! #3246679Mary N C. Taitt August 30, 2006
