Diagonals

In older days, any little village had at least two smokeries. Smoked fish was a trademark of this island, and it still is a little.
This pair of funnens I found in a tiny little village on the west coast. There is, of course, a tiny little harbour to hold the various small crafts, which brought their catch, mostly herrings, to the smokeries. These were then hung in pairs, one head locked by the other’s head, across iron bars above a prepared pile of alderwood. The wood was set ablaze and then wetted with water to generate the smoke.
The title also refers to the way the bricks were laid. I’m glad I wasn’t a bricklayer then.

Great narrative mate….love the abstract feel of it and the way that the white of the funnels cotrasts with the blue of the sky. The strip of red at the bottom is nice also. A lovely image.

My kind of photo. I love the lines. The bricks look like they were laid by a drunk mason.
Kofoed replied

Thank you very much, Paul. I appreciate that.
I can’t say, he might have been drunk. I see it the same way.

G’day Kofoed,

A very interesting narrative to accompany this equally interesting photograph!
Very well seen, composed and photographed to show off all the angles, contrasts, lines, texture and light and shadow, clearly and crisply.
Good work that man!
