The World of XPILAR - B&W PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART CONTEST WEEK #096 ~Propeller
This is my entry for B&W pgotography and art contest hosted by @axeman.
This is a propeller from a wooden traditional boat 'Gajeta'.
Once upon a time, these ships went on Latin sails and oars, then they were replaced by small diesel engines of about 10 HP one cylinder.
Today, everyone is turning to plastic because it is much easier to maintain so wooden boats are slowly dying out.

... thank you ...
Ago, I dreamed of becoming a marine engineer but couldn't continue due to lack of finance.
I love seeing marine related photo
I graduated from the High School of Mechanical Engineering and spent one year on two large ships as a machine assistant but I did not take the officer exam after that. I took a break and started doing some other things and so I got away from that job. But I was born on the sea and I have been on boats since I was a child, so everything about the ship is closely related to my life.
Thank you friend for the comment ✌
So amazing
Wanna learn how to snap too
I'm still practicing
Thanks friend, and I'm still learning, I'm not a professional either. ✌😉
Reminds me of old memories, 12 years working on the ship. Nice object @to-tru, thanks for your share!.
Thank you my friend @adivender,
