Oh! What a stunning photo. I love the [mostly] monochrome - it works surprisingly well, although I would like to see it in colour also.
I wish I was there.
Still another wonderful study of water in a quite different mood; where IS that book?
I love the masterly construction of the jetty. Who managed to cart all those packing cases there - and (more importantly) why? Has someone jumped from that top level into what looks like six inches of water and six feet of soft mud? The starting point of an intruiging thought train........
Anne-Marie, I couldn't get it to work in colour. Something about the blues and greens made it look bruised; livid. Straight black and white, on the other hand, looked too flat. I think this treatment does it justice, but I know this isn't to everyone's taste (but what is?)
RR, vehicle access is possible, over a long, rough track. If a good road (an oxymoron?) ever goes in, it'll be the end of it. Strangely, I hadn't thought of the function of that superstructure. Is it a roof or a diving platform, and if the latter, then surely the lagoon must have been far deeper in the past? Thanks for the reminder about the book, too :^)
A diving platform? A lookout? There are rungs up the side, so people must have climbed to the top. Intriguing!
Lesley, true — the rungs do suggest a diving platform. I doubt it'd be safe now, but nothing about the entire structure looks safe!
