I was also supposed to tag someone each day to invite them to join, but I decided most of my friends probably wouldn't take part, so I just posted my pictures. I followed the rules otherwise and posted my photos without an explanation...although it was a little difficult not to add a caption.
My fellow blogging friend from The Cynical Sailor and his Salty Sidekick was the one that challenged me and then she posted a blog entry with the explanations she wanted to include in her Black & White Photo Challenge posts. I thought it was a wonderful idea...so here are the captions I wanted to add to my photos.
Day 1 - The Blue Crab has been a tourist and local favorite in Rockport since the late 50s. In 2011 an artist constructed the latest version that sat next to Little Bay until Hurricane Harvey blew it away. Now another artist has painted a large crab to take its place until a permanent one can be constructed...reminding everyone that Rockport will recover.
I loved reading the explanations, especially the one about the crab. I would have never have guessed that it was such a symbolic photo and a reminder of people's resilience in the face of natural disasters.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to take a couple of years before things are back to "normal" again in Rockport, but they are working very hard to get there.
