A drifted buoy can be a real danger to safe navigation. In U.S. the red and green are reversed - Instead of red on the port(left) side while entering the port it is red on the port side while leaving the port! I had been confused twice there but luckily remembered in time, Nice and colourful collection of buoys here Cornelius.
That is a good capture there, very colorful, Cornelius. The comments and narrative give rise to an inquisitive nature. To you old salts they were and are now important in your life. In our life and how we are coping today, it is important to have things to help guide us to safety. Like Raj said we need to be wise with what we know or face dire consequences.
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
