Silent Running

Canon EOS 5D MKII, Canon EF 16-35mm 1:2,8L II USM, Heliopan ND 3.0 filter, tripod, long exposure, PP in PS 5.1 using NIK Software filters in partLocation: Eckwarderhörne, Jade Bight, North SeaYou're viewing remnants (pillars / columns) of an old pier used by ferries.I was - somehow - recalling the movie "Silent Running" while taking this shot, which much impressed me decades ago..."Silent Running is a 1972 environmentally themed American science fiction film starring Bruce Dern, (...)The film depicts a future in which all plant life on Earth has been made extinct. Only a few specimens have been preserved in enormous, greenhouse-like geodesic domes attached to a fleet of American Airlines space freighters, currently just outside the orbit of Saturn."(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Running, accessed 04.08.13)Interestingly, an old photo postcard is available on the Web showing how that pier had been constructed / looked like once (the postcard visualizes the pillars yet "doing their job" ;), that is, carrying the overall former construction):http://www.memorybilder.de/cgi-bin/galerie.pl?galerie=0012&pic=Bahnhof_u._F%E4hrhaus.jpg&UPcount=direktThanks so much for stopping by, rating as well as leaving a comment!Buona visione.Volker
