Today, February 1, 2010, is Theme Day across the CityDailyPhotoBlog community . Took a ride on Custom House Wharf yesterday at high tide. At the end of the street, you can actually drive on planking that stretches side to side with some small warehouses on either side. Don't panic. These boards, in this image, were off to the side away from the traffic area. I was surprised to see the water, in certain sections, was overflowing the pier itself and running quickly into the street. I had heard about this phenomenom, usually during storms, but never seen it til today.Happy Birthday to my sister-in-law Judka Budka!
Happy Birthday, JB. I 'wood' like to know more about how your excursion went yesterday, Birdman. Did it leave you feeling splintery like these weathered boards?
ReplyDeleteVery New England wharf like. Very reminiscent of my years in Boston.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much beauty there is in a few old planks and some rusty nails.
ReplyDeleteSunny :)
The old planks are quite beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, the stories these boards could tell . . . beautiful texture and great choice for theme day. I'm sure the wharf has experienced many a flood tide.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of looking at weathered wood like this. These boards are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou got the right light for this old wood!
