I really like how you make (apparently) uninteresting locations come alive.

Nice minimalist congruence.

Thank you Paulo, Eric and Scott.
That you fellows like this foto is a huge encouragement to me.
With a camera in a little boat I'm trying to document an ecosystem that's quickly dying- an acre/half a hectare every hour.
Hopefully some viewers will find these interesting enough to understand their context.

PS- Paulo, your comment is music to my ears !

Though this is rather not the context you meant, the picture reminded me instantly of P H Emerson ... in a colorful way, obviously. But, maybe it's not that far away, even, as he also kind of captures the vanishing.

Just looked at some fotos of P.H. Emerson. Very compelling !
Thank you for informing me about his work. I do see a similarity in purpose. But not an artistic achievement.
To me, photography can be a powerful historic record and that's what I'm after.
Many thanks.
