Blue Cleat

Blue Cleat, Union Pier, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok


Large cleats such as this one help hold massive container ships to the piers at Charleston's various marine terminals. Vessels from around the globe arrive to load and unload cargos of all sorts. 
If only good will traveled as easily...


Hope your weekend isn't as stormy as ours is predicted to be!

  11. A quick glance and I saw a top hat - albeit a strange colour! But closer inspection revealed it to be another of your MMM's - magical minimal 'mages.

    Have a magical weekend, hope the storm blows itself out.
