Inspiring Photo: - Line Observation II

- Line Observation II -

Uploaded: November 12, 2007 00:01:05

Description

I have had a couple of requests to post an image of this winding, wooden dock
without a tonal inversion and with some visibility of the surrounding environment--
So I am posting one more, taken on the same day.

Captured at a Nature Observatory this week, in the afternoon hours.
If you follow the line of the structure you will notice a few distant observation benches in the square areas.

Thanks for looking :)
