Primary Colors [Contest Finalists March 2007]
Uploaded: March 29, 2007 21:58:44
F4, 1/750, ISO 100, 136mm, taken at The Pier in St Petersburg FL about 11:30AM. These are styrofoam balls/floats like are sometimes used on crab traps and other things. I am not up on what they are exactly used for; I don't know if they mark the crab traps or if they keep them off the bottom of the ocean. These were used for decorative purposes around the pier. They were strung like beads on a wire and were used like a rail.

Nice capture, Carol. Love the colors. I've got one in my gallery with these balls. They are much farther away. I love going to the pier. I live about a half hour from there. #4116002Carol Teal April 01, 2007
