Salt Barge

A large barge filled with salt passed by our house today (I live on the east coast of Vancouver Island) in heavy seas! It was great watching the waves splash up against it!

[Taffy]

I love the action in the waves and the bird, and how cute those two little mountains of salt look in the middle of the ocean.

[Sheila]

Looks like floating icebergs. Totally cool!

[Cathie]

What an interesting image!

[Jenfurj]

They look like ice bergs breaking through the water. I wonder where the salt come from and where it is going?

[Susan Klassen]

Love it - looks like mountains on the move!

[julia]

Think the salt may of got wet.... looks fantastic and great with the blurry birds..

[Lou Ann]

I love the waves and the salt mountains. A fun, interesting photo!

[Dianne]

Moving, floating mountains! Nice - and an extra bonus with the birds too.

[Margo]

Gosh!! I hope they never tip over!!

[Elizabeth]

Doesn't the salt blow off those barges? Great capture with the gulls!

[Issi Bannerman]

Wow. How intriguing! I thought I was a looking at two icebergs or something like that. Great image.

[Margo Sayer]

[Babs]

Amazing what an interesting image.

[elkehochban]

Wow! I never thought they'd move great piles of it, always thought most things were placed into containers before shipping. Interesting shot!

[HelenM]

Fabulous shot and a most original subject matter

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Interesting subject and capture

[gloria jones]

For me this is a really cool shot with the stark white against the blue shades plus the pops of red make for a pleasing image

[Teresa Matuza]

Wow, something you don't see everyday! Great capture!

[Greg Kowalski]

Great shot. Really like the composition and how the seagulls in the foreground and depth to the photo.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Excellent capture.

[Jennifer]

Super capture, love the movement and the iceburg-like salt piles

[Chris Johnson]

How neat to see piles of salt just sitting out there. Awesome timing on the splashes. I also love the blurred focus of the birds.

[Ann Williams]

Fascinating to see. I've never seen anything like it before. Those waves look pretty big too.

[tony gig]

Great focus and capture.

[bruni]

Wonder how much salt gets wet from the waves. wasn't quiet sure if I see two or three salt "mountains". I think the third is rather a big wave.

[Judith Johnson]

Fabulous capture, especially with the birds.

[Louise & Ken]

What an amazing image! Fascinating to see salt mined in such immense quantities!

[Loopy-Lou]

Fantastic shot

[Sherry Steffensmeier]

Great colors. I love the birds.

[Karly]

What an amazing photo. I didn't know salt was hauled this way. Love the lines of red in the blue water. Great capture of the splashing waves.

[Myrna O'Hara]

Salk piles being hit by salt water. Cool shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I never really thought of salt as having to be shipped anywhere. Fascinating! I can't really make out the barge but the waves and birds really make the shot!

[Granagringa]

the white of the salt, the sea spray and the seagulls....really like how they balance the shot against all that blue.

[Gayle]

Wow! Cool shot . . . so interesting! :-)

[Milanie]

That is so cool! Never dreamed they transported it this way. As I've said before, amazing the things you learn on 365!

[Faye Turner]

So cool! Wonderful capture!

[Dawn]

Wow thats a lot of salt cool capture

[Kathy]

A very interesting sight. The splash of waves is great as are the sea gulls keeping this barge company on its journey.

Love the sense of movement. Never a boring moment in your neck of the woods, or I should say ocean!

[Nicole Campbell]

That is an amazing sight, they look like icebergs
