Lobster boats at New London Bay
But first, views of the bay's mouth and the mystery ruins on the opposite shore. No amount of googling by me has come up with even a whiff of the history of these pylons/logs deeply anchored in the sand bar.
From a distance I thought this bird might be a Bald Eagle.
No, a seagull.
Now follows the movement of the boats entering and leaving between 12.32 pm and 12.37 pm. So much action.
The narrow entrance and speed of the boats set up amazing wave action that rippled along the shoreline endlessly. Amazing to watch.
A few minutes later, I spotted what I thought must be a cruise liner on the far horizon. I zoomed in and no, just another lobster boat who's fishing ground was so much further out than I expected.
Four minutes later.
And four minutes later.
Mobile phones are never far away in the workplace, today.
Comtemplation at morning's end.
Interesting angle.
Off for a second load of pots.
With the magical sky above, this was an incredibly beautiful hour spent on the shoreline.
I would love to read your comment.
Wow Helen, your photos are absolutely gorgeous! The skies, the clouds, the water, the boats and the views. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely and enchanting journey!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. Sharing is part of the enjoyment of seeing.
DeleteLove these! Fantastic. The pylons are a mystery. At first I thought they were the bones of a ruined wooden ship. It can't be a dock. Perhaps some sort of breakwater? Most mysterious, says I.
ReplyDeleteIt was marvellous to watch the boats Bill and find different angles to snap the ruins. I'll try to solve the mystery next year.
DeleteThat area is amazing place to watch the boats. So close to shore, it feels like you can reach out and touch them. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo close, so fast, so much wave action and all under a magnificent blue sky.
DeleteSome mysteries are meant to linger—those ancient pylons guarding the shore like silent storytellers. How thrilling to stand where history hides in plain sight! 🌊🔍 Have you asked locals for clues?
ReplyDeleteI am back in Australia now, so was hoping goole would have the answer. Next year.
DeleteI can see why you were mesmerised by the view with so much going on on. B x
ReplyDeleteBarbara, the sky and ruins added just so much to the action. A perfect afternoon.
DeleteWhat fun to watch the activity on the water. Great photos too.
ReplyDeleteDiane, on such a beautiful day, it was mesmersing.
DeleteFantastic vacations and the pictures are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful vacation Margi, with family and on this beautiful island.
DeleteI'm always fascinated by your water photos because it's so "foreign" to this landlocked Kansan. It looks like there was plenty of action to watch.
ReplyDeleteThere was just so much action, Kim. The boats and their back wash were beautiful to watch. I will revisit again next year.
ReplyDeleteI am curious also about the odd pylons/wood sticking up from the water. What could they have been? Have you thought about asking someone at a local restaurant or an employee at a store? If you are really persistent, the local chamber of commerce or library should know something. It is a mystery. I suppose Google isn't really that smart after all.
