A Walk Around the Local Boatyard

A walk around a local boatyard offered up some wonderful colours and textures to photograph.   Even the boats whose bottoms were about to be scrubbed were wonderful photographic opportunities!




This week I am linking up with Mary over at Mosaic Monday and Sally over at Blue Monday

  1. Great idea, Diana! Wonderful textures that you found in the boatyard, I particularly like the peeling paint.

  8. Wonderful texture and softness Diana!!
    My husband is a very keen yachtie so I've been visiting boatyards for our 43 years of married life!
    All very familiar and lovely!
    A beautiful composition of lichen, the rusty old door handle and peeling old paint!

  10. ...the soft muted colours of age have been captured beautifully by a click of your finger Diana, the colours and textures are things of beauty and are more stunning and eye catching now then when they were new...a wonderful collage...Melxx :)

  13. Those colours and textures strike my own personal palet, really lovely and those colours in particular are some from nature that I have brought into our home for wall colours and decorating in my country, Shabby Chic styling~

  14. great photos Diana
    lovely textures and very atmospheric, with the peeling paint and the barbed wire etc.
    Did you have to use any special lighting or were you just lucky.
