by the water - brent

funniest little dock. It really has something to do with pumping water (in or out of the lake). There is a hose running along it in parts. The posts are the ones used for road signs and the dock itself looks like it was made from leftover pieces of several other projects - they are all different sizes. The lens had the curious effect of flattening it so it (almost) looks like a vertical, instead of horizontal, structure.

Super stuff, a real horizontal illusion held together by the strong verticals

Oh I forgot to even say, love the optical illusion too!

The industrial look this has until you look a bit closer is what I liked. I can't say I've ever seen a pier quite like this one, watch your step!

This is a booby trap picture, Brent. One doesn't know where to go or where it is. Strange visual effect.

Love the effect- it's hard to tell if you're looking up or straight ahead or what...
