Yes, mussel farms they use small trees or branches to mark the mussel banks The cormorant has a damaged left eye, right on the photo, which is probably fatal.

I see two mastlike things that look like they re attached to the boat to me.. are you saying the boad is in front of them?  when I stare at the photo for a while (adjusting my eyes) I can se things that look like pencil marks in the background.  but the tall things with nets hanging from them look like they are on the boat.. and they are not small - they are huge.   aren't thse masts?  Looks like Dan thought so too..  but then we both have glaucoma. I thought the cormerant was just winking at you... sorry to hear he is injured. ann On 8/30/2021 11:31 AM, Toine wrote: > Yes, mussel farms they use small trees or branches to mark the mussel banks > > The cormorant has a damaged left eye, right on the photo, which is probably > fatal. > > On Mon, 30 Aug 2021, 16:54 Bob Pdml, <PDMLBW@hotmail.com> wrote: > >> Mussel farm?

The two mast like things are… masts, as you say. In the background, on the horizon line, such as it is, are the no-longer-mysterious things that look like pencil marks. > On 30 Aug 2021, at 17:13, ann sanfedele <annsan@nyc.rr.com> wrote: > > I see two mastlike things that look like they re attached to the boat to me.. are you saying the boad is in front of them? when I stare at the photo for a while > (adjusting my eyes) I can se things that look like pencil marks in the background. but the tall things with nets hanging from them look like they are on the boat.. and they are not small - they are huge. aren't thse masts?

I didn't see them the first time I looked, but beyond the boat is a row of tree like thingys sticking out of the water. Long slender trunks with tiny fans of branches at the top. They're kind of faint & low contrast and you'll miss them if you just look at the boat.

Nice boat! Sad cormorant. Of others in the same time frame, I very much like the Goudpleviere group shot and the Steenloper. Good work.
