The baulks under the crane jib do, as do the drums and the little dinghy but the lobster traps look like a concrete sculptor for a garden. Perhaps the close up is too close? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree about the lobster traps. I think its because there too 'neat'. Otherwise excellent photo - something different. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simond Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 It’s funny, my eye didn’t pick up on the solidity of the lobster pots, but noted that the tarp over the dinghy didn’t have the obligatory puddle in it. (They all do, and then they all leak into the boat, and then you have to bale it out!) poor Kevin, spends years building a model... simon 2 2 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
