Strange Eggs, Public Art or Floats
These strange egg like objects are of course dockland floats. It looks as though it is some time since they were used and they look almost like pieces of abstract public art as they lie there between the marina and the docks. If they were eggs, I wonder what their mother would look like?
Collected Jetsam
I assume that the piles of rusty and discarded objects we found collected together in Swansea Marina / Docks on a recent Walk and Draw (see previous post), were there deliberately and that their ultimate destination will be a scrap yard.
I have no idea what these objects are but it can be fascinating fun looking through all the strange forms and wondering.
Photoshopping – now you see it, now you don’t
I really liked the green block aspect of this building in Swansea’s SA1 quarter. But I did not like the lamp post in front of it!
When I took the photo this object was irritating, but I thought, “never mind, it’s part of the cityscape“. Looking at the image afterwards in Adobe Lightroom made me decide to spend the time taking the lamp post out. I knew it was going to take a little while to do it well, but I thought it was worth it.
