vulnerable

mooring one's boat in the open waters of Burrard Inlet in order to avoid paying marina fees can leave it vulnerable to the occasional fierce windstorms that batter the coast

Maybe he should have paid the fees! I like how you composed this. V

The framing of the skyline is superb. Excellent precarious mood you created with the hurried people. V

Must have been a very bad storm for the boat to be so far up on shore.

Captures the crazy weather patterns out in PNW so well.... BV

Bad choice on the owner's part this time. Savings on the slip will disappear fast when the cost of repairs are factored in.

hope this beautiful sailboat is not too damaged, a wonderful scene under this stormy sky! V

Let's see what the incoming tide can do ... nicely dramatic.

Not worth the risk so sad for this this poor boat. Really like the comp, and superb backdrop. V

A nice capture of this risky venture,

Superb shot to tell this tale of gamble and risk.

A dramatic scene emphasized by the dark sky. V.

Nice shot well captured and well composed David. Well narrated too.

Drama on the water! This must have put a dent in someone's bank account.
Walter Otto Koenig04-Apr-2021 17:09
An interesting shot. Hope a good high tide will lift it off. Otherwise the costs will be higher than the docking fees.
Johnny JAG04-Apr-2021 16:57
Hope it's not too badly damaged. Great shot

That ain't good.

a dramatic scene with that light.V.
John Hamers04-Apr-2021 15:57
i wonder if the fees are really that high to take such a risk. Great of this scene with the nicely lit city in background V!
Helen Betts04-Apr-2021 15:47
Looks like it might have been worth paying the fees to avoid a disaster like this. It made for a great shot for you, though.

What a wonderful find and shot. I love boats like this and the way you used the mast to frame the city in the background with a great moody sky. ~BV~
