Comment:
Nicely done long exposure. Did you know those wave blocks or wave breakers are actually a South African invention. They call them "Dolosse" Here is a quote from the Wikipedia article. I provided the link below here so you can read the whole article. Quote" The design of the dolos is usually credited to the South African Eric Mowbray Merrifield, one-time East London Harbour Engineer (from 1961ΓΆ€“1976).  In the late 1990s the claim of Aubrey Kruger gained more prominence. Kruger's claim is that he and Merrifield had considered the shape of concrete blocks to be used to protect East London's extensive breakwaters for the City's non-natural harbour, following a major storm in 1963. Merrifield wished to design a block that did not break up or shift when struck by the sea; that was cheap; and that did not require precise placement. He said in later years that he wanted a block designed in such a way that it could be "sprinkled like children's jacks". Kruger stated that he went home for lunch, cut three sections from a broomstick, and fastened them with nails into an H-shape with one leg turned through 90 degrees to create the distinctive dolos shape. Merrifield was intrigued by the object and had Kruger draw a plan. Kruger never formally received credit for the invention. Merrifield won the Shell Design Award and the Associated Science and Technology Societies of South Africa's Gold Medal. The death of Merrifield (in 1982) has put this controversy beyond proof either way. Aubrey Kruger died in East London on 19 July 2016." Unquote

Jou foto is pragtig...moes baie beter ge-eindig het. Ek neem maar net af en toe deel deesdae meer vir spek en boontjies eintlik...voel al lankal nie meer ge-inspireer nie en oorweeg om my fotografie equipment maar op Gumtree te koop aan te bied. Ek voel my fotografie is talentloos en is niks meer as everyday snapshots nie. Het selfs my Facebook page gedelete eergister.
