Protection

Here and there, what's in between.

A close-up photo of a heavily rusted thick steel chain, its end link bolted to a weathered grey wooden post with two galvanized hex nuts and washers. Green leafy ground cover grows below.

A photo looking down through the white-painted grid of a bridge railing, its cells speckled with clumps of pale grey-green and mustard-yellow lichen, a muddy intertidal creek behind.

The view from the stern of a ferry looking back at its frothy white wake fanning out across grey-green water toward a low, forested shoreline under a cloudy sky. The ribbed steel car deck and a yellow-striped loading ramp fill the foreground.

A close-up photo of a sea-green painted steel ferry railing meeting another at a rope cleat. A frayed rope is knotted around the rail on the left, with calm water below.
