Today’s picture comes from Baltimore Maryland. It is the image of a tie off or stanchion. These are used by boats to tie off next to a dock or pier. The larger ones such as the ones you see here are used for larger ships. Although now, with the human walkways added in the inner harbor area, larger boats can no longer get down the river/canal where we were walking. They couldn’t get under the gerbil trails.
Now they can be used by smaller boats, but I am not sure, looking at the water that you would want to roll your boat up into something like that river/canal. It had that delightful odor of water that sits without moving.That horrible rotting smell that well, just doesn’t present the best factory image. While fiberglass (primary material used for most pleasure boat hulls) doesn’t hold odors, wood does.
One of those beautiful older or new wood boats would smell to high whatever, after sitting on that water.
Yes, by the way, the sky was that gray on Sunday.

I stayed in a flat once, just across a lake that also started to smell like that. Eventually even my curtains and furniture started to smell. There and then I decided, no more.
I don’t blame you. One of my personal frustrations is that very issue. I hate smelly river water!!!!
This is bad. The rivers must be clean and crystal clear.
That is so true, clean and clear! It is something we can all work towards!
Yikes, the smell of the water would be me distanced!
It was pretty rank! We ended up walking as far away from the river as possible. I told my family that if anyone fell in, they were not riding home inside my car!
Looks nice. But, it seems you have described our river here too. 🙂
sorry to hear that. Always hard to keep rivers clean.
