PHOTOGRAPHER'S DIARY:
The underdocks,
boater's crawl space,
resting place of algae covered lures,
snagged beyond reach.
The underdocks,
sea-green perch
where gulls stalk the glossy rocks
and grumble and caw.
The underdocks,
where ropes grouse and whine
droop and coil
round creosote and slime.
The underdocks
crustacean garden of snails & starfish,
wood lice & barnacles,
shipworms & gribbles.
The underdocks,
mirror world of
of raftered halls where dead men call,
and ladders plunge to the abyss.
The underdocks,
Stygian green and glossy black
where waters slide
and slip and glide and leap and fall away.

Hi Ted! Another series of excellent posts this week with awesome pictures. I'm suspect as I love water and the sea, but the reflections you got on the several docks pictures are absolutely stunning! And the text to match is also a source of great intelectual pleasure. Excellent work!!
Thanks also for your comment on Blogtrotter, now on its last post on Santiago de Compostela! Wish you a wonderful Sunday!
Thanks, as always for your visit and your encouragement, nor would I miss the last installment of your Santiago de Compostela series or whatever spot is next on your travel agenda.
Ted, I have come back to this image now for the 3rd time - a WONDERFUL capture! I love the reflection and the details are "spot on"... Very peaceful - really moves me..
Thank you, my friend...
