art of the sea

Where ever I go, there is always the sea and I make a point of saying hello.

"The harbour is an ironing board
Flat iron tugs dash smoothing toward
Any shirt of a ship, any pillowslip
Of a freighter they decree
Must be ironed flat as washing from the sea"

Posting a photo can only mean that I'm back - as always I doubt very much that I'll make any serious attempt to catch up, but hey, how you doin'?

[Issi Bannerman]

Love this!

[Rob Z]

These are very serious thoughts - you have matched the image to them so wonderfully well.

[Joan Robillard]

I get antsy if I stay long away from the coast.

[JackieR]

What's wrong with blank spaces anyway?? Love the poem and photo too

[Yao RL]

You have got into my territory. Nice to see your point of view.

[Sheralee S]

The "T" is missing from flat! What a great piece of art.

[Shanne]

this is gorgeous and love the poem

[Humphrey Hippo]

This looks so cool - I had to Google it to check if it was real. ;)

[J A Byrdlip]

Fine, thank you. Yourself?

[Graeme Stevens]

@byrdlip Marvelous , thanks for asking ;)
@humphreyhippo It's definitely real - there's a few more scattered around the water front area.
@shannejw I can't take credit for that unfortunately.
@bella_ss And the "P" from pillowslip, but I guess is vandalism is the risk of art in public spaces, which is disappointing in itself.
@yaorenliu I did sneak in under the radar ;)
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I'm largely made up of blank spaces...
@joansmor You and me both...
@robz It's a bit deep...
@jamibann You poor thing, I'm so sorry ;)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

way cool :)

[Caterina]

Nice composition and interesting art piece

[Dawn]

A fabulous composition , and art work

[Larry L]

Really captivating image. I like the monochrome sky.

[Sheralee S]

@graemestevens Such a shame! Their initials are probably T and P!!

[Marnie]

Great inscription/sculpture, makes one think a little - or a lot as one feels at the moment. Love the seascape too.

[Jane Pittenger]

Welcome back and nicely composed

[Graeme Stevens]

@jgpittenger Thank you very much - I'll have to let the Wellington City Council take most of the credit ;)
@golftragic Thank you kindly - I try not to think too much :)
@bella_ss It's always the way but I do hope they went to a good home!
@lsquared Thank you very much ;)
@Dawn Thank you kindly :)
@caterina Thank you very much :)
@koalagardens Way thanks ;)

[Joanna kate]

Neat gritty shot

[Graeme Stevens]

@joannakate Thanks very much :)

[Helen Jane]

I love your title on this - because it almost looks to me as if the sea is trying to imitate the art. Fascinating image.

[Graeme Stevens]

@helenhall Thanks very much :)

[Elizabeth]

Cool shot and poem!

[Graeme Stevens]

@redy4et Thanks very much :)
