Through the Arch

Ovo Sodo support boat, Fosso Reale, Livorno
The “Ovo Sodo” (Benci Centro) support team is waiting to lead its rowers to a training session.

Through the arch of the San Benedetto bridge we can see the rowers coming from their “cantina”.

    I like the yellow stars on their boat.

    I would not have thought the row boats would be pulled out into the open water. But now that I think about it, all those oars would probably connect with other boats, bridges, buoys, etc. Very interesting!

    That arch just frames it perfectly.

    Nicely captured. I like the colors/ lines in the water and the way you composed these images.

    I love this series of images through the arch VP.. I have a weakness for arches AND nautical scenes, so to me this is a double bonus..

    It looks as if no one is paying much attention to the tow line or the relation between the two boats. Will that ore sticking out on the port side make it through the arch? Interesting.

    A great POV, no doubt about it.
