Boat Lift

previous / next

This is the big boat lift at Liberty Harbor Marina. I'm not sure how this one works, but when I was a young adult I had a friend who worked in a marina and the ones they had used these huge straps that went beneath the hull of the boat and then lifted it like it was in a sling. My guess is this one is like those only the straps do not look like they are attached.

News:

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers.

Check out my other Photoblog portfolio/archives:

Another keeper Laurie. Beautiful brilliant blue sky and the fisheye lens works well with this shot.

It's fun to see how much the super wide angle really bends the world around us.. Nice shot!

Neat fish-eye effect, and yep, haven't seen one of these in years.

Cool! I like the wide angle here and it brings out the sky beautifully.
