This is yet another picture illustrating life offshore.
I took this picture in the evening.
Preparations for the installation of the underwater pipeline have just started. It will be a long night.

The small boat and the tall platform form a well balanced composition. The splendid light completes the opera.

A subject that we rareley see shots of and you have captured it really well.The inclusion of the boat makes it more than just a record shot and the loveley soft colours in the sky contrast really well with the harshness of the platform.

Fantastic shot of this rig, perfect lighting, and nice to have teh other boat there. Do you work in the industry, this looks like a really hard to get shot.

Steel, lights and some rust with nice afternoon light. I like the man vs. nature feeling here.
And a chance to see something like this, not accessible for everyone. I like how the relative sizes of the rig and vessel have changed compared to your earlier photo.

Rzadki okaz - platforma! Świetnie pokazane. Statek obok daje proporcje.
