- David on the pier
The part of our community where beauty (the state park) meets the beast (industry). That big fluffy smoke has reared its head here through all four seasons since I was a child and probably many years prior to that. It makes for some interesting texture in a photo, especially on a very brisk winter’s day–but it is the uglier side of the city, visible from the north pier off the bay of Lake Erie. One doesn’t stand on the pier for too long in the winter, unless one is a glutton for frostbite. A few quick photos, and its back to the vehicle. In summer, this pier is filled with fishermen and fisherwomen, and this part of the bay has quite a bit of boat traffic. It is one of my favorite areas to run in the other three seasons, ending with a neat little lighthouse at the end.
What a great shot! There is a nice little story going on here. The tones and the texture give it a beautiful quality.
Thanks Ken–with the wind whipping across that pier, you know how hard it is to get a good shot. I think the “great” part of a Great Lake is really referring to its summer status!
Another fine storytelling image. Well done!
Thanks Anita–not much story left in me this time of year–waiting for spring
I cringe when I see those smoke plumes from the air. I don’t like it and think it is ugly also. But, those who make an income from those plumes may not consider it ugly. All in the eye of the beholder. This image tells me a story. I like how he seems to be contemplating the scene. Cause me to wonder what thoughts are going through his head.
