Scrap Book 9

This photo was a actually taken by my friend Steve Sheridan, down on the water, somewhere near the Point.  The only manmade structure in this photo are the wooden posts located at the center of the photo, which have since been put to use as a nest for a seagull family, presumably.  I think the original objective of the posts was to alert passing boats of shallow water.  The posts in themselves, and everything else in the picture, for one reason or another, should not be considered art.  The posts because they were placed for functionality and not for creativity.  Everything else in the photo is of the natural world, and so could not be a work of art.  However, the photograph itself, is very artistic, in the way the branches frame the posts and nest, and the symmetrical reflection of the posts on the water.
