Human Marks on the Mudflats

When the tides go out

the mudflats reveal bits of history.

The random speckling of rocks

dancing around and among

a purposeful line of a man-made something.

More evidence of early dikes I presume.

A straight line heading for the meandering evidence of a stream.

Behind the dike we walk along

are remnants of a fence no longer important.

The marks left behind from a bridge of olden times.

Across the river the bridge foundations reappear

right next to the concrete upright of today's bridge.

Then the not so modern

and now unused

pylons of the old railway bridge.

All these marks left behind by us humans of yore

might be the beginnings of some work.

I wonder if I will witness much deterioration in this bridge

as the years go by.

Brand New and Really Old Linear things

A brand new piece of equipment appeared in the quarry

Not a speck of rust

yet 

This on the other hand is a very old

very rusty 

decommissioned railway bridge.

Anyone for climbing up there and

getting those rusty XX's 

onto fabric?

Back down closer to the ground

there is design potential

 amidst all those 

textures

shapes

lines

and

repetitions

Ah,but there is rusting potential

 in those bolts

But not as impressive as this rusty beauty!

Posts Rule!

Rusty sentries

Would love to wrap some cloth around these! 

Family of five

Sometimes we force trees into post work

Some posts like to paddle at high tide

Others line up and stand tall

ready to hold back the ocean

Some old posts just loaf around the basin floor

Worn out!

Snuggling in pairs

Some folk like sitting atop posts

and some folk just pretend to be posts

Ha

That was fun!
