Description

Hi everyone! So, as you probably know by now I am always insecure about my pix! But you are all so wonderful and encouraging that I feel I can upload anyway. This pic was taken the other day at the boatyards near my home. It was raining and windy outside but oh sooo dramatic there. It was also VERY gray! A lot of the graininess comes from the fact I couldn't keep the lens dry. The air was so wet and misty. But I saw these wrapped up boats, and they looked almost human. I hope you like it. And I appreciate all your comments sooooooooo much!-Marlene

Wow, that is soooo freaky!!!! It aint even 6 am here and ive just woken up, so it has be cause im soooo tired that i thought they were a bunch of roses lined up perfectly at first glance. Then i noticed an antenna, read your notes...and now i dont even see why i thought they looked like roses...oooops..rambling huh? Well i love it! Sure its grainy but sometimes that only adds to the effect as it does on this one. Very moody capture indeed. Have a great week #:o)

Very alien like creatures from another planted. The colouring adds to the mistique.

I love this shot- you know that too! I really like the grey and gainy look to it, along with the boat covers. Your title really suits this image, it completes it. This is one of my favorites! I am always your #1 Fan -lov p v

From the thumbnail I thought it was sailing ships... has somewhat of an eerie graveyard feel. Fascinating capture.
