Ancient City

AG from London, United Kingdom

* I am sure is was a work of craftsman built work when first constructed. Shame to see it waterlogged. I like the way you captured it too, on a lean. Adds even more to the neglected feel.[reply]ROB @ 2006-08-24 08:35:46

* Looks great the way the ribs fill the picture. Again, unusual angl;e sets it off. Great stuff.[reply]TC @ 2006-08-24 08:58:11

* I love the organic structures here. Very nice colors and composition.[reply]Uwe @ 2006-08-24 10:41:49

* For me, it's the rich, chocolate browns in this image that I find most appealing.

I would be nice if this boat could be restored, the craftsmanship is beautiful.[reply]micki @ 2006-08-24 10:42:51

* interesting. i like the aging part...makes a perfect photo. again, interesting angle.[reply]rayts @ 2006-08-24 11:19:47

* I always wonder who owns these things and does not care or enjoys what must have been a nice property.... At least we can enjoy it a bit through the efforts of AG![reply]hans @ 2006-08-24 11:38:27

* The ribs just draws you in to the photo. Nice capture![reply]Michael @ 2006-08-24 14:05:29

* This capture is really sweet. At first I didn't know what I was viewing, the lines, angles and condition of the boat drew me into it. After a brief second I realized it was a boat sufferring from neglect and the elements. I really like this shot, great composition, did you do much post processing?[reply]J. Rivera @ 2006-08-24 14:28:05

* Gorgeous. I bet its lovely to watch that water slosh around inside her. Such beautiful linesa dn colors.[reply]Dave @ 2006-08-24 14:29:38

* nice structure. I like the "ribs" of the boat.[reply]Karl Baumann @ 2006-08-24 18:20:02

* Terrific photo, AG. I like how you skewed the angle and then filled the whole frame with the boat. Ironic that the name of this old boat is "Ancient City". Looks like this beauty is ancient too.[reply]Jeff @ 2006-08-24 20:03:58

* You make your visitors think in order to know what they are looking at :-) An original angle.[reply]Hildegarde @ 2006-08-24 20:58:38

* Beautifull shot and a beautifull object. Nice composition too. I love the 'name tag' btw, the way it's worn out is almost pure art. [reply]javga @ 2006-08-24 21:55:33

* The boat seems curled up like a leaf and compressed by the telephoto lens in the frame, love the crop![reply]fotojo @ 2006-08-24 22:54:27

* The angle of this really adds to the feeling of neglect and decay.[reply]Heath @ 2006-08-25 00:55:27

* Well framed. Indeed, no straight lines! [reply]Sidney @ 2006-08-25 03:47:25

* neat composition. cool photo![reply]John Zeweniuk @ 2006-08-25 07:19:36

* Superb shot![reply]jane @ 2006-08-25 13:03:54

* At first I thought it was rust but then I read it was a wooden boat. I like the name of the boat, Ancient City. Nice capture.[reply]Erik - HedinMedia.com @ 2006-08-25 17:13:55

* an interesting design indeed. it reminds me of what perhaps the inside of a whale might look like.... dont ask me why :)[reply]shane j montgomery @ 2006-08-25 17:36:37

* Thank you to Micki, Hildegarde, Joanne, Jane, ROB, TC, Uwe, rayts, Hans, Michael, José, Dave, Karl, Jeff, Jaap, Heath, Sidney, John, Erik and Shane for your kind Comments on this one.
‘Ancient City’ is moored in the same spot and looking a little more worse for wear after bad weather. Due to the compression effect of the lens, she is a longer boat than this shot suggests and, I guess, not quite so sweet as she looks here. But still a craftsman-built affair.
Thanks, again for the Comments.[reply]AG @ 2006-08-30 08:06:48
