(149,308 posts)This is an old photo, but one I really like.
I did check the size on Photobucket, and it should be OK. Let me know if it's not.

(22,378 posts)I would so like to know the back story on this photograph.
I find it intriguing and very appropriate for the theme. An incredibly arresting image. Please tell!

(149,308 posts)I was down at my local pier, but the authorities had closed it. Why?
There was a ferocious storm out at sea, and the waves were quite high, even up to the pier where people walk. It was too dangerous to walk up there.
So everyone trooped down to the sand, and watched the waves from under the pier!
Yours truly too.
I took about 60 pictures! I really liked this one...
And thank you!
Mira
(22,378 posts)Like a photographic "Magritte" and I thank you very much for the back story. If you don't mind my saying so it is your most intriguing entry ever. Except I loved "Commute" --
better and better dear Peggy.

(149,308 posts)I'm not very energetic these days, and getting out is hard, so it's a good thing I have so many photos in my archives.
You may say anything you like! I approve!

(8,584 posts)Until you described it, I though you might have combined two photos.
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,308 posts)There is no way I have the skill to combine two photos!

Mira
(22,378 posts)This is a tricky subject, I have little, but I did enter with a shot of the family dog.

(8,584 posts)The curtain blowing in the wind is wonderful, and the rustic door is great!
Mira

(8,584 posts)I grew up there but came out to NM in my 20's and am still here. I miss the NJ shore big time.

(2,363 posts)Hence the name 😊 I am from CT and am back there now. I lived in Northwest Jersey in the farm country.

(31,320 posts)decisions, decisions.
I'm going with artsy for this one.
mnhtnbb
(31,320 posts)It just gives me the grins. Forget artsy.
Mira
(22,378 posts)I myself would like to have TWO entries this time....

(27,404 posts)Especially on contests like this that don't fill up.
Not this time, though. I think the group should discuss it if we are going to change the rules.
Maybe the last day of submissions can be used to add additional photos from members who have already submitted.

Mira
(22,378 posts)The last day --- let's fill this contest up --- idea!
We should discuss it, but first things first.
I'll go look and see if anything has changed in mnhttnbb's poll about separating winning from entering. Last time I looked the contributions in offer and discussion were pretty anemic
your photo gave me two emotions, it made me laugh because of the clever title, and it made me want to sit at the edge and watch the boat float by.
elleng
(130,156 posts)I guess that's what I'd hoped to evoke. That's why I'm here every day!

(31,320 posts)You know that, right?
I can never get two of them together like that.

(90,740 posts)I wait until they're fighting for food then start shooting.
