LAND HOE!

LAND HOE!

Uploaded: December 11, 2013 12:01:25

Description


-----
Aboard the USS New Jersey battleship, moored (as a museum) on the Camden NJ bank of the Delaware River.
----
This image was made after the Pearl Harbor Day Remembrance ceremony aboard the ship had ended. I don't know the names of the ship's parts, so I'll call this the Communications Tower.
-----
This is a popular gull "lookout station" judging from the large deposits of gull guano and corrosion on the tower.

That's where I would be if I were a sea gull. What a view she must have! #10919761

Wonderful shot and interesting info lol!

Nice to hear they had a Pearl Harbor Day remembrance ceremony too; I didn't see much in the papers around here. The front page story was about Robinson Cano leaving the Yankees! #10919809

Gulls are such cheeky birds. They seem to think they rule the world and will tell you all about that loudly. You got this one creating a fine graphic at the same time. #10919982

Terrific perspective and timing, Michelle, well designed and effective in B&W.

Note: Interestingly enough, this is not a black and white conversion. There was simply no color to be seen in this scene. It was raining, and the ship is gray; the gull is black, gray, and white. -Michelle #10920025
