The repeating patterns in the rope make for an interesting composition.

For me it is the texture, I just love images that have an almost tactile sense about them.

I agree, the texture is wonderful. Very nice indeed Glenn.

it was a dark and stormy morning and you start out your day with rope? 
nicely done, as with everyone else it's the textures that keep me looking at this. the rope up top with the light hitting it has a 3d feel to it.

Ha...there's something about a drizzly morning here by the ocean. Ad an simple line (yes it's line vs ropeit was a dark and stormy morning and you start out your day with rope?
) and I can't help myself. And thanks for the comments...appreciate them.

Wonderfully textured capture. The lighting does a great job of sculpting the line and providing dimensionality to it rather than simply rendering it flat. I would live to see an alternative version of this showing the full coil

Thanks @Brian Moore. I'm a life long fan...and I never thought I'd see a championship in my life...now I've seen 3 in 10 years! But...because of the bombing...this team was very special to this city.Congrats to the Sox @Glenn Clabo

I think I know what you mean, Glenn. For example, I dislike the Yankees quite intensely. Yet right after 9-11, when the Yanks played the Diamondbacks in the World Series, I wanted them to win so bad because I wanted something good to happen for NYC. Confound me if the Yankees didn't lose that Series!
I was hoping the Sox would lose last night because selfishly I always want the Series to go 7. But, I was wanting the Sox to win that game 7! (And I love that "House of David" look some of the players adopted.
)

I love coils of rope. We sometimes go to the old dockyard at Chatham and there is a building there, a quarter of a mile long, where they still make it. They use bicycles to get from one end of the place to the other. I love the texture on this too

Interesting Lesley. We live in what was the Boston Navy Yard...Charlestown Navy Yard. It closed in 1974 and has been slowly preserved and changed over to codo's. My wife's building was the sail loft...etc. We live a block away from where all the US Navy's cordage was made...The Rope Walk. It sounds just like what you are talking about. Here's a website http://charlestownropewalk.comI love coils of rope. We sometimes go to the old dockyard at Chatham and there is a building there, a quarter of a mile long, where they still make it.
