A super kelp, isn't it, Wilf? Or a super Christbaumkugel. What ever, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Greetings from Frankfurt to Vancouver Island, mainufo.

mainufo, I've just awoken from my winter slumber... Thanks for the Xmas wishes... right back at you, eh?

Cheers, Wilf

Unfortunately, when I wanted a closer look at this, I can only see it on your pages, and am not able to enlarge it. It looks like a huge Christmas tree decoration, but I'm assuming it is a buoy of some sort. I like it anyway.

Cheers, Amelia

Thanks for the input Amelia. I have no way of explaining what happened to this image. A Panoramio gremlin at work perhaps.

A similar buoy in a different location.

The missing picture Amelia. Now I notice that a number of my pictures with the "rust" tag are suffering from the same malady. Gremlins, I'm sure ;-)
