The old boat winch

Beautifully composed Herb.

Great mood of "past things".
Only the sea can deliver it this way . . .

Thanks so much Jose. Gald you liked this.

Keep safe. Herb

Super strong Image Herb excellent in mono love it I'm afraid another ⭐ from me.
Regards TOZ

Always good to see you enjoying my mono efforts here. Another star, another 'thank-you' my friend.

Cheers, Herb

I really like these machines that were so important to mitigate the enormous manual effort
In b / w the composition is dazzling and adjusted to that glorious past and to remember it
Strong and superb composition, Herb

Another story of our past here Judite. Some photos tell the story better in monochrome and this is perhaps one of them. Glad you like it.

Best Wishes. Herb

What a super find Herb..................and a lovely "detail" image from you. I also like the background and the upturned boats which put this old winch into context. The light is gorgeous too.

Good to hear it's still in occasional use too........still useful after all these years (unllke me). :-)))

Hi Keith. Funny enough I photographed another very similar to this whilst on the East coast of Scotland only last year (it seems like years ago now). There must be a fair number of them still about. Great that you liked my take of it and you thought that the mono suited.

Stay healthy my friend. Herb

A really interesting photo and thanks for the explanation.

My pleasure to bring you this and the explanation Ed.

Stay safe. Herb

Moin,

Ja, ich denke auch Weard.

Bleibt Gesund. Herb

Wonderful find I wonder what the various parts were in a earlier life, I hope no one connected with H&S sees this photo those gears could make a nasty mess of a finger !!

A great shot of the winch itself and a very nice backdrop with the boats and beautiful sky. The people on the beach give the picture scale and it's beautifully presented in mon. Cheers, Rosa.

Well composed and this makes a fine b/w, Herb.

The winch (shadow) can be seen on Google Earth - Herb'... - I was wondering what would prevent it tipping over when winding.. then I see a 'lug' set into the ground.. so I guess they would anchor it down..// An interesting window into times past... // Cheers from Dj..

Hi Herb

A very nice and dramatic picture of the old winch..,
Although I do wonder how much pull it could exert before tipping over.....

Wonderful composition though!

Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
