Simply magical

I always have to stop at the very end of the Brown's Bay marina docks, facing the lower half of the fish packing plant. Pipes and pilings, tires and wires, rusting float tanks, chains and plastic tubing, planks, pumps, valves ... Chosen for utility, cost, availability; arranged however it all manages to fit together.

And then Ma Nature takes it all, adds tidal water and sunlight, and turns it into an ever-changing work of art.

Abstract art
And two seconds later, it has changed.

Blues and greens

Siempre cuando estoy en Brown's Bay, tengo que ir al extremo de los muelles de la marina, donde terminan a unos cuantos metros de la planta empacadora de pescado. Ahí se presenta a la vista una maraña de tubería, tanques flotadores, llantas, lazos y cables y cadenas, planchas de hierro oxidado, pilotes de metal, tubos de plástico, válvulas; todos escogidos por su utilidad, su costo, su disponibilidad. Y ordenados sin ton ni son.

Y luego la Madre Naturaleza le agrega agua de la marea, y la luz del sol, y produce obras de arte en movimiento constante.

  1. Arte abstracto.
  2. Dos segundos más tarde; azules y verdes.
  3. Parte del material original usado por Ma N.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
