Fort Bragg, CA: Contrasts
images from Ft. Bragg, CA, February 2010
the riverbed full of sea-wrack, flotsam, wreckage,
boats full of memory and dream, littering the Noyo,
detritus, houseboat life, long-term and nomadic,
human refuge, human refuse, human sanctuary and wrack
down the river valley, sun-shadow moves under the crane's wing
whirl of cedar stump overgrown with coastal vine
the choke and dance of living
the riverbed full of sea-wrack, flotsam, wreckage,
boats full of memory and dream, littering the Noyo,
detritus, houseboat life, long-term and nomadic,
human refuge, human refuse, human sanctuary and wrack
down the river valley, sun-shadow moves under the crane's wing
whirl of cedar stump overgrown with coastal vine
the choke and dance of living

Fort Bragg seems busy and contrasts well with the trees overloaded with ivy. Thanks, Art.
Luvvit. Especially the 'choke and dance of living'.
Thanks.
I am probably giving an exaggerated-contrast portrait of Ft. Bragg here, as it's really all of a piece. The coast along here, in Mendocino County, is rough and wild and beautiful, green even in winter, bleakly beautiful even in winter when the storms are pushing the boats hard against their bumpers and piers.
