I took this shot of the wharf( in this photo) pylons to use for manipulations but thought the colours and textures made quite a nice picture on its own. 120 years worth of being caressed by the sea :)

Great colors and textures in this one, Lyn. The only thing that I miss is the typical smell (frangrance to me) of the sea, but that will stimulate my imagination.

Seen and captured very well.

Regards, Cornelius.

Or me or Pimpek [other nick for Boris :)] for that matter !!!
Like our C I miss only the smell of the sea ...
When was it last time that I was at the seaside ?!
[strange question as we live 100 km away from the sea but during the last 10 years we had no time to go there...]
Thanks for the moody and slightly melancholic image ... Nostalgic too.

From the sailor's point of view I would say "hmmm" but you are right there is beauty in those colours and that water.

There is beauty in those colors and weathering of the dock Lyn - I too would love to smell the sea. It has a way of clearing your head at least mine anyway!

"120 years worth of being caressed by the sea." What a great line, LE.
I loved the shot of the wharf and this is a great closeup.

Well done, Eve. A good historic image of both construction and wear.

I really enjoy repetitive shape images but the unique colors provided by the minute sea organisms are a great enhancement. The fact that you cropped out the top of the pier keeps it from distracting us from this decidedly interesting underside. -Nik

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Very nice close-up! At first sight well preserved for over a hundred years.
