A massive anchor recovered from the sea now rests high above Port Chalmers, New Zealand. Its history is inscribed on the plaque on the concrete support.
Please CLICK HERE to read the close up photo of it.
Thanks for looking, and for any comments :)

Fantastic vantage point and perspective here, dear Lyn.
I am going back to my hiding place and may reappear after our sea wolves make their comments... [:)]
Love from

With all my love and respect, Marzena
The story linked is very serious and meaningful so I better abstain from my fun making for this once.
Great image, Lyn dear.

"Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured">
I like your perspective on this one Lyn, with the anchor high over Port Chalmers. Bravo.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Thanks for both the link (providing us with a very interesting story) and your wonderful image. Of course I've S+F+AC nominated your image, as it's one of the few images that made my heart beat faster! Thanks again, Lyn.
Regards, Cornelius.

Nice photo and also thanks for the interesting link Lyn. I am not surprised about the sailing vessel losing the anchor. The winds can be rather strong around that place as you know. One of my company's ships broke all lines and went aground in Dunedin harbour. Luckily no serious damage was done.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
That is an amazing sized anchor and the link was very interesting - it's hard to believe it could take down a trawler as they are not small vessels.

Great pic...I feel like I drag one of those around all day.

It now has a great view, LE. That must have been a big ship.
Outstanding work.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
A fascinating piece, Lyn, and great perspective and textures too.

Dear Customer Service: First of all, you should know I am typing this with my middle finger...
You know what they say? "Big anchor; big ship!" What an interesting story Lyn. An excellent memorial to the sailors of all the ships.
