Container barges go by daily and I've seen some amazing sights but today was an original. The entire top of this barge was loaded with boats. I believe they are double sided meaning there's 32 boats on this thing. Wild fires on the mainland have brought crazy smoke haze here making the colour of this very strange!! Here's a similar shot from last year with school buses and no smoke... http://365project.org/kwind/365/2016-05-21
Well if this had been a Florida photo I would have thought they were moving boats out of hurricane Irma's range to safer ground. Would love to know the story about these boats! Wonderful near and far comparison.
What a fantastic sight and so interesting to see your shot from last year! The smoke is really affecting the colour! Looks like the air is thick with it which must be awful! Stay safe!
Oops, that's a lot of smoke. Gives the pic a special feel. What a difference with the former boat pic filled with schoolbusses. I hope you can still breathe!
The contrast in these two photos is quite something. But I do like this - the atmosphere adds an air of mystery. The container boxes look like some kind of childrens building blocks. Hard to realise it isn't a toy barge.
Still blows my mind sometimes how big those vessels are! The boats as cargo really gives it some perspective.
Sad to think what the smoke represents... the loss of forest and wildlife is a heartbreaking thought. Sorry about your smokey air. cough-cough
