They might have to wait a while.

Good picture, Dougie. The two poles really make it.

Cheers...the poles are all that remain of a wooden pier, the entrance to a long vanished harbour...so with these rigs on their way out too, it's almost like looking down a time tunnel...gone, almost gone & going...

 

[Pete Askew]

Superb stuff, Dougie. The story works well I think.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

The story works great as the image and we over here suffer now Douglas, hence the situation. It hits a small nation hard who sadly has relied on only fish and oil, not realising that we need more legs to stand on. A very good image indeed.

It could be a wartime photo. It looks almost like ships in a convoy and the poles like the periscopes of submarines.

Now there you go, been dreaming again. Strange imagination John

Beautiful image, Dougie. I agree with Rob about the poles.
