Full and empty at the same time. I think this may be true of all of the 'empty' images I've seen so far. It all depends on your point of view, doesn't it? What is empty of one thing seems to be full of something else.
@ brattcat - It was Aristotle that said that 'Nature abhors a vacuum'. He was then disproved about thermodynamics, but for less scientific purposes he was probably right.
The empty “Elba” pier, waiting for the next ship.
Very nicely done, VP!
ReplyDeleteGood theme day shot. I like the geometry of this shot, well done.
ReplyDeleteEmpty it is!!! Have a great day!
ReplyDeletePiers look so lonely without ships.
ReplyDeleteLovely composition though!
Empty of ships but full of exquisite lines and shapes. Good choice.

ReplyDeleteWonder what will be arriving?
ReplyDeleteBeautifully composed shot. I'm always fascinated by those bollards waiting for a ship's rope.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it won't be empty for long!
ReplyDeleteHappy theme day!!
Very interesting, I agree it won't be lonely for long:)
ReplyDeleteThose big ships are held tight by those little blue things?!
ReplyDelete@ Saretta - No, this is the pier usually reserved for small ferries to Elba and Capraia: the longest boat barely reaches 70 meters.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be soaking up the beauty of that color in person. Marvellous emptyness.
ReplyDeleteI have seen that pier before.. the harbour is a great place to take shots, not a likely place where you find emptiness...

Well, I guess some peoples' ship was never meant to come in!
ReplyDeleteNicely taken, a good choice for the theme day!
ReplyDeleteI like the colours and lines in this photo!
