Magical World #20: Junkyard ship spectacle

in #vehiclephotography6 years ago (edited)

Trash

Every day, different ships dock in front of our home. Mostly cargo ships, of which some are loaded with colourful containers. Some of them huge, some filled to the brim and lying low in the water, some empty and sitting high. But the other day a special cargo unit was parked right in front of us, and I couldn't resist taking some pictures. And next, sharing this post.

Before unlocking my bike to go to work, I quickly took a few pictures

Special cargo

The ship was carrying old iron. If you look closely, you can recognise all kind of items, like heat radiators, boilers, and then there is a whole lot of unrecognisable stuff in there. I especially loved how the red brownish colours contrasted with the blue sky, and the blue paint of the ship.

There's a few radiators in there, metal sheets and tubes and frames and a whole bunch of things I don't recognise

Elements

I've shared pictures of the view from in front of our home before. I'm sure I'll be taking many more. There's something about the water and the sky and the buildings in the back that provides such a perfect setting. Looking at these pictures of today I realised part of what I love about these shots is that there's so much contrast. Between the modern buildings in the back and the old and thrown out items in the boat, and then the wooden pole in front which is almost a piece of antique.

But for me there is also some visual satisfaction coming from the multiple elements present. The wood, rocks, metal, sky, water, the bright and fiery sunlight. Like how in Ayurveda they have the six tastes that should be present in your food to leave you satisfied, I feel it is the same for visual contentment: all those elements present in whatever view we are taking in, leaves us visually happy. Anyone recognise this, or is it just me? ;)

And water, and even some trees in the back

Coming home

As I said, I took the above pictures before unlocking my bike and heading to work. That was morning time, not early morning though. The sun was already quite high and the light a bit harsh. When I came home, the sun had moved over to the opposite side. Now coming from behind the buildings in the back, instead of lighting them up.

The below picture I took after coming home again, just before the sun would be setting. See the long shadows? Gives you an idea of the view from our window, and the actual size of the old iron ship. I think this picture shows about half of its length.

Lol, I have no clue really! I thought it was a curation project, like curie for example? Not aware of using it. Should have a closer look at what they are about I guess :)
