A couple of weeks ago, I visited Squantum Point in Quincy, MA. While it has trails and conservation land now, it used to be a naval air station. The Navy had installed metal barriers to keep the sea from eroding the area where the runways were located. Now, the barriers themselves have rusted and eroded.
another visual on how life takes its toll on us. =^_^= I loved this picture!! Have a good day! Mild here, just hope it doesn’t rain.
Ha ha ha – So true. Everything erodes, even seawalls. I have another shot to share where you can see more than just the silhouette but you’ve likely already seen it in Flickr. It’s about the same here. We are expecting sunny weather tomorrow. It’s time to get out with the camera.
Whoooaaaa i love this…everythi g erodes even sea walls.
This is such a beautifully composed photograph taken at just the right time of day.
I love this silhouette image! Have a great weekenmd.
Oh wow! Thanks for a lovely share
Thank you, sir.
I love this photo! Things fall apart but there’s always another sunrise to look forward to. So pretty!
Thank you, Sandra. I like your interpretation best because it is the most hopeful.
It always makes me wonder why they don’t spend the money to take these structures down – it must really be on the list that does nkt fit the budget – and your photo evokes a lot about change and the way certai things become obsolete
I don’t know either. Itg gives it a rustic beauty but also poses some risk. Many people have seen this on a metaphorical level.
Indeed – the metaphoric level surely has been met by many
Such a shame, but what a lovely capture.
I think it’s not really necessary anymore. I’d becautious with young kids, though. It looks like a tetnus shot in waiting.
Interesting that you can capture such beauty in something so tattered. I love the view!
Thank you. I find many old and worn things to have their own form of beauty. The view was great. This spot is right near where my grandmother used to live but somehow I never came here.
Hope you didn’t lean on it for any shots? 🙂
The sea always wins, but there is also something valiant and touching about seawalls.
The sea does always win.
Love this perspective, Chris. Delapidation has a strong pull on me in photography. Must be the aging process, haha!
Ha ha ha. Thank you!
Things may fall apart… but seeing the sunrise in the background gives hope.
Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful! Have a good week.
