soviet planning

As a follow up of my series about the pier, I will post a series on why it was abandoned.

In Engure, a harbor was created for the fishing industry. A dock was build, there was a repair wharf, cranes were build, and a factory was made to deal with the fish that was brought here.

Now all is in ruins, and only a handful of small ships use the harbor. All around you can find the remains of what used to be a modern facility.

PS2;
rotate, crop, adjusted brightness and contrast, resizing, added the border, sharpening and finally added the text.
this is part of small serie about the Latvian coast, and how the fishing ‘industry’ evolved over a century;
the old man and the sea

Hi David,
As you've posted it in B&W , the sky is automatically blown out, so in my opinion you could have avoided the white border, because the frame and the picture merge on each other creating a feeling of diproportion. Otherwise B& W was a perfect choice to celebrate the shot. It has created a brilliant nostalgic mood.
Regards,
Sagarneel.

Nice shot of some good looking ruins here David. The sharpening is pleasing to my eyes. I'd like to see some ore shots from this place, but closer shots and from wild and crazy angles!

hej davids
It's very EASY to understand WITHOUT notes.
You just have to a know a tiny bit of European history.
You just need a 1 point inner stroke on the framework to separate the sky with the frame
Cheers

Yeah, it's rather sad view. Like something like "bye-bye, fishies!" Looking at all this I can't stop thinking - what a waste! Waste of money and manpower.
And I like that today we do not made such things anywhere, keeping ourselves to ourselves, leaving the world to its doings and goings.
At least 90% of population want it to be that way. But politics, of course, can't stop promote themselves all around the world.
