Ordered disorder ... Photo

Photographer’s Note

This time I do not dare to explain anything in my photo ... ;-)
It was taken in the small harbour of Eckernförde situated in a bay of the Baltic Sea. Three sailing ships were anchored here - side by side - and my photo shows the view throught the rigging of all three ships.
I was told that there's a certain order in all these ropes ... ;-))

Guten Morgen Frank, aler "Seebär"..

fur uns als Flachgebirgslaien wird sich diese Ordnung wohl eher nicht erschließen, es sei denn, du hast mittlerweile schon den "Binnenschiff-Führerschein" bestanden..

schönes Wochenende, Gruß Bernd

Smart observation. I know people who knows all this line one by one can tie it and untie too. :)))
Fine photo doesn't need explaination at all, I presume.
Regards my dear friend.

Good morning Frank,
It certainly takes a lot of ropes to hold a boat together! A very smart observation! That orange life belt is also catching the eye here.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Guten morgen lieber Frank,

Nein, so unhoeflich wie Bernd will ich nicht werden ! Erstens uberhaupt nicht "alt", zweitens absolut kein "Seebaer" !
Aber der Titel ist hinwerfend : Ordered Disorder .
Das erinnert mich an meinem Vater der 52 Jahre lang Kernphysik an der TH İstanbul unterrichtete. Sein Arbeitstisch zu Hause war nur ein Haufen von fast 1 m dicken Papieren, Buechern etc. Und damals kam einmal in der Woche eine Putzfrau zu uns in die Wohnung, und jedes mal am Abend gab's krach zwischen meinen Eltern. Er schrie lauthals "versucht doch nicht Ordnung in meine Unordnung zu bringen" !
Siehe mal wohin mich ueberall jetzt Dein Titel gefuehrt hat.
Danke schoen und schoenes Wochenende
mfg
MESUT ILGIM

PS.Gestern hatte ich meine erste Kontrolle, sechs Monate nach der letzen Chemo. Alles bestens ! Gott sei Lob und Dank !

Hi Frank,
Of course there's order on those ropes. I just wonder whether it takes months or year to learn that. A picture that doesn't open immediately. Value is in all those countless details. I like how that life saving ring catches attention.
Thanks for your tips for Bernkastel-Kues, my plane is taking off in a few hours.

Frank,
Perfect title for this shot!
All of these lines seem to be in disarray at first glance but the more you look at it the more order there seems to be. The orange life ring adds a nice splash of color for the shot.
TFS,
Asa

Hello Frank,
An unusual and interesting graphical image of this rigging. I like the presence of the lifebelt, which introduces a different geometric shape as well as a splash of colour. A place, where you need a head for heights ;-0

Hello Frank,
Beautiful composed scenery with all these ropes, I like your POV and the title too.
Have a nice WE, Vasilis.

Hello Frank,
Highly amusing, reminding me of an Indian electricity pole. A good observation.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Frank,

When I see an image of this kind I always wonder how they were able to keep the ropes apart!
This is an unusual frame filled with details to an extent that is borderline abstract...
The lifesaver is an eye-catcher and saves my eyes in the apparent chaos..!

Greetings,

Hi Frank!!
the title tells everything here! It is an eye capturing composition! I like it.

Ciao from still warm and mosquitos full North East Italy

Agreed frank - well done

Like some of the critics here, I confirm there is plenty order in the dispostion of all these ropes. For exaple, the two rows of thrre blocks of both sides are probably the return blocks for the braces of three yards.
The only ship I managed to identify is the German Roald Amundsen in the foreground, because of the name of the orange boy. This is a good testimony of the sharpness of your pic here.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hallo Frank,
so ist es meistens: was die Außensteher als Unordnung empfinden, bezeichnen die Kenner als raffinierte Ordnung. (Das sagt auch Erika, wenn Ili den Zustand ihres Zimmers kritisiert.) Neben seinem schwerwiegenden Inhalt ist das Foto auch graphisch ansprechend.
Viele Grüße

Hallo Frank,
It is a jungle of ropes :)
Good spotting for this composition.
Clarity is concise.
Wel done.
Regards,
Graham.

Hello Frank

I agree with your title, very good creative title indeed!
You've created an abstract image that is still very observable and eyepleasing.
I really like this disorganization
great creative work
have a great day
