The effect of salt air
The buildings out toward the end of the pier show what happens to wood and paint in salt air: ongoing maintenance.

Surf Lace
I was at a conference earlier this year with my two very patient co-workers. They pretended not to even mind very much while I stood under the pier and made, say, thirty or forty images of water smacking into the pilings. I have a great job!

Down by the water
First of all, where I am from the term “river” does not necessarily imply “water.” So the idea that a river has enough water to have tides? That sort of messed with me. And this river has high tides, as it’s on the famous Bay of Fundy, home of the highest tides in the world.
And the other thing is that this reminded me of a song. You know the song I mean – Down by the Water by the Decemberists.

Red, as an accent color
Wait, what did I do here? Did I mean to post a color image?
Yes.
But only because I like the way those spots of red flow through the image, from the steps to the bands by the doorway, to the bench, to the boat to the quilt. And even to that dot of red on the sidewalk.
Nicely done, red things. Nicely done.
