Lobster Buoys

Lobster buoys, Mount Desert Island, Maine  © Doug Hickok


When out trolling for a tasty photo, I'm often buoyed up by the sight of enticing color. Here I've hooked a shot which lured my eye, a pattern of hues, hung on a wall for display.


Photo note: If you're in the mood for a little off the wall humor, check out the work of Chinese photographer Li Wei.

    These buoys are so vivid and colourful!
    Some of them even look like coloured pencils.
    I love lobsters! But they are so expensive in England...

    Great color study Doug and I love the Li Wei link. As always, a great photograph paired with smart commentary.

    The buoys are quite handsome; so how about the goyles?

    Yes, "hue & you" works well together! :0)
    I often tries to capture graphical, colorful pictures like this, but somehow I never succed... I guess the word is practise!
    A beautyful picture, Doug!
