Boats on Sky Water (Photo of the Day)
Intricate (Photo of the Day)
My contribution to the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Intricate. I added a little bit of tilt-shift in post-processing to emphasize the intricacy of the boats massed together in this marina. Down within the marina proper, any one boat is massive, a world unto itself. But from above, all those masts and cranes and prows can be nearly overwhelming. Intricacy is a matter of perspective.
Float (Photo of the Day)
I’ve been having a lot of fun with “Writing 101” via The Daily Post and Blogging U. When I discovered they do weekly photography prompts as well, I got very excited! Last Friday’s prompt was “show us what afloat means to you.” I’ve been meaning to get down to the Ballard boat yard for a long time now, and this was the perfect excuse.
I could have stayed there for hours, but I was eager to get back and post something. As I was going through my photos, I realized that this one, with the clouds floating above the boats, really captured the idea of “floating” for me. I don’t know if that’s ironic or not. Taking pictures of clouds has been on my bucket list for a long time, with middling success. But I really like how this one turned out.
