Building a boat

They do it in the old-fashioned way at "Hardanger fartøyvernsenter"

This is my contribution to Dragonstar's The weekend in Black and White.

Maboe said...: Ja, dette var både et interessant bilde og emne.
Selv har vi en fembøring som er bygd på den gamle måten.; 20:19
Hans HB said...: Flott balanse i bildet. Her får du fram både dybde og symetri. B/W valget ditt er helt riktig til dette bildet!!; 21:14
Wenche said...: Flott bilde av ein nydeleg båt! Ingenting er så flott som ein trebåt:)Bildet gjorde seg godt i s\k. Ha ei flott helg!; 21:30
Dimple said...: Very interesting shot. It isn't often one can see the inside of the hull this way. It works very well in black & white, also.; 21:39
EG Wow said...: This does look like the hard way!; 22:09

Annelie said...: What a job, and what a boat!
Stunning!; 00:14
raf said...: A fine rendering on this, Rune. Imparts that classic charm of traditonal boatbuilding as well.; 00:22
Woody said...: The 'old fashioned way' leaves an interesting pattern of lines and dots, enhanced by the monochromatic effect.; 02:24

aileni said...: May be old fashioned but well fashioned.; 13:58

Serline said...: I like the texture. Nice angle shot too! Have a blessed weekend!; 20:27
Mona Sweden http://fotoentusiastenfotoblogg.blogg.se said...: Det är väl härligt när ett fartyg byggs på det gamla sättet. Jag har sett när dom byggde Fregatten Jylland i Danmark och i Göteborg har vi ju Ostindiefararen Götheborg. Snyggt fotat.
