Anchor Me.

Boiler Point, Careys Bay. view map

Full fathom five
Someday I'll lie
Singing songs that come
From dead men's tongues

Anchor me, anchor me
As the compass turns
And the glass it falls
Where the storm clouds roll
And the gulls they call.

Words by Don McGlashan. Sung by the Mutton Birds.

A rather intimidating anchor. Very nicely photographed. ~V~

It recalls me of Bull horns in Cnosso Palace in Creta island in Greece.

Wow that is huge, it must have been quite a ship.

An impressive composition, and I like that rusty texture.

Wonderful detail on that old rusty anchor ........... and a nice contrast with the smooth water beyond. Another impressive shot! ~V~

Must be a REALLY long chain ;-) Great perspective and layered background.

That's a solid rusty anchor, and well composed with the bay in the background

I like the tight framing and the contrast of anchor and water. Well done John. "V"
