likalar Posted February 24, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 24, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Leica M9, 35mm Summicron ASPH....Many years ago, special ferry boats were equipped to carry freight cars across SF Bay. This steel structure is the underside of the movable track assembly that would adjust, by use of a gantry crane, for the rising or falling tide. New bridges that included railroad tracks rendered the ferries obsolete, and this slip was abandoned long ago. Thanks for taking a look. Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted February 24, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2013 Larry, Excellent patterns, tones and sharpness with the interesting narration. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gshay Posted February 25, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 25, 2013 Larry, You have a way, over the years of finding "stuff"*that most of us overlook, and in our own backyard!! You are a "special-ops" photo-guy! Beautiful pictures as usual for you, sly-guy. George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpsawin Posted February 26, 2013 Share #7 Posted February 26, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Larry, Excellent...wonderful stuff. I am mildly jealous as most of these sites in the Seattle area have been torn down and the few remaining sites are fenced off. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likalar Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks! Bob, same here. San Francisco's old industrial waterfront areas are being spiffed up rather quickly. Quite a bit of the old Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard remains intact, but is off limits. I've been ousted once on land and once by water. Often, what is readily reachable has been defaced with graffiti. Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Taylor Posted March 1, 2013 Share #11 Posted March 1, 2013 Larry, as expected, you always come up with great shots and these are another example. Best regards Hank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atournas Posted April 30, 2013 Share #12 Posted April 30, 2013 Larry, I just came across some of your images and then started looking into others of yours (I'm afraid I rarely find the time to relax and look the forum up for good images). I admire your consistency with the images. That element is usually underestimated, but it is a strong one that turns a mere sequence of pictures into an artistic collection. Yours, especially the b&w ones, have an impact onto me as such a collection. What's more, each individual shot also keeps its virtue. Thanks for sharing them in this forum.
