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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Until you described it, I though you might have combined two photos.

The curtain blowing in the wind is wonderful, and the rustic door is great!

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.

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.

I guess that's what I'd hoped to evoke. That's why I'm here every day!
