RE: Black Sea Impressions - (Hidden) Beauty of Europe
Well, that's really impressive! It took me a split second, scrolling through pictures in my head (without reading the caption), to remember what this place was, so specific with the sea and the mountains, and those old grain silos in the back.
Again, I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to be there, to see all this live, to admire it.
And this last photo is so precious - now I understand the mechanism of pulling the boats ashore on the slipways - a part of the mysterious life of fishing boats that is so close to my heart.🖤⛵🤍
Gibraltar :P :D
There is some resemblance, isn't it? ;)
I suppose this serves both for mooring and docking, especially helpful when it's stormy. Who knows though, I may be just guessing...
I've seen/photographed many boats loaded onto these slipways, that way the fishermen just pull them ashore. Maybe so they don't experience the devastating power of the water for too long, really. I don't know.
And you're right, Gibraltar! That's why this place seems so special, so out of place, out of place with the surrounding atmosphere and everything.
