Oh Buoy

It is raining here today, and rain is forecast for a few days, so I am going to post photos taken in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago that I didn't get chance to post until now.

This photo of one of the marker navigational buoys taken from the ferry as we went from Stockton to Newcastle.

I think it looks like a robot carrying an iPad ha ha

[Diana]

What a lovely shot and perfect title, love the idea of an iPad ;-)

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

An unusual shape to be sure, you have a great imagination. Hard to miss that bright color!

[julia]

Quite robot like.. Great spotting.

[Judith Johnson]

It's certainly very visible!

[Kathy A]

That's a rather large buoy. It's raining here too and I hear we are going to get a lot over the next 4 days

He (robot, I agree) does stand out.

[Wylie]

A very strange construction!

[Peter Dulis]

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

You are more imaginative than I am. I thought it looks like a backyard DIYer's rocket.

[Dione Giorgio]

A handsome bo(u)y. New for the job because he is still green.

They are the navigational marker buoys for the ships entering and leaving the port. Green ones are for starboard and red ones for port.

[eDorre]

Love the title and the shot!

[haskar]

Great imagination.

[Rick]

Cool capture. Does sort of resemble a robot with the I-pad. :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I agree- that would be a fun shot to play with.
