taken at sunset 1 minute after the sun left the decking while it was still on the Harbormaster building and boats. I tweaked the saturation a tiny bit in PS, otherwise unchanged.

You have discovered some divine proportions here Mary! Now did an artistic mariner just happen to leave the rope like this or were you tampering with it? #508142

Leanne M.E. Boyd August 22, 2006

I like however it was createred - it has design, creativity, and a quiet power. Excellent shot, Mary! #3198645

Emile Abbott level-deluxe August 22, 2006

I can definitely relate to this, Mary. Well presented. #3198762

Mary N C. Taitt August 22, 2006

Thank you so much Kate, Leanne, Emile, Michelle and Adilson.

I did not "tamper with" or touch this, it is exactly as I found it. Not only that, but I probably have 75-100 similar pictures over the years as all the mariners here do that with their mooring ropes so that they are tangle-free and come up easily when they're in a hurry to leave--plus at makes an attractive presentation along the wharves and piers. #3199003

I took that one last night. Here's another from July 05, but not quite so "fancy" (maybe that's what you meant). They do do various combinations and permutations on the theme!!! #3199074

Kate Jackson August 22, 2006

WOW - neat!! Actually we always do a bowline around the cleat and take it back to the boat so the spare line is in the boat! #3199438

Mary N C. Taitt August 22, 2006

Thanks. Not being a boat person, I don't really know why they do that but they always do here--that is, probably 90% or more of the boaters here do it that way. It was new to me when I came here because I don't recall seeing or doing that in NY. #3199447

Absolutely fantastic capture..My first impression was like some before me..that you has somehow arranged the ropes. The discussion made for some good reading. Anyway, this certainly demonstrates your powers of observation. Great job, Mary!!! #3246679
