Description

I was going to name this image "25 cents" and see if any other the sailors in the crowd caught the pun. Changed my mind Anyway, these bitts hold one of the mooring lines for the Berkeley, a steam power ferry that was used in San Francisco for 60 years. Hope you enjoy. PS: Now that I look at it, the device on the right would be termed a bollard, that on the left is one side of a set of bitts.

Like others, I love the POV here and the sepia tones work wonders. Nautical images always make me think of Joseph Conrad in a sense. I think it's the brooding, moody sense of some Nautical images and this is a perfect example. The post work is excellent, and the added zing of rocky texture works incredibly well.
