Winch: "A mechanical device used to pull in (wind up) or let out (wind out) or otherwise adjust the tension of a rope or cable. In its simplest form, it consists of a spool (winch drum) and attached hand crank."
Well, I think this is the simplest form! Found in Alesund, Norway. I had hoped to get a brochure picture of these buildings' reflections, but the conditions weren't perfect enough and I only had one chance.
V2 is an alternative viewpoint.
V3 shows the winch in context.
V4 is an aerial view of Alesund.
Thanks for having a look,
Pamela.

Version 4 is absolutely superb stunning.. love that aerial perspective and verities of coloured Buildings..

Oooh, that was quick!
Thankyou so much, glad you like them.
Jenn, you have a way with words!
This set exemplifies the virtues of the multiple upload facility, exploring a subject, building up the 'bigger picture'. Very nicely done. I favour V1 for the strength of the composition. Not an easy subject but you've given so much here.

Your sensitivity for critical shot selection has worked a treat here, #1 being the outstanding image for me; the supporting cast is very strong, with #2 and #3 to give scale and perspective - and of course #4 for general context. The colours are superb under that cool northern light.
Bill
We've just been there (last week) - you've made some really good images.
John
Super colourful shot and great composition.
Thanks for your great comment on my pic it did make me smile... in a nice way of course.

All images are crisp sharp beauties. v3 for a complete composition, the surroundings and the winch. Excellent work Pamela and nice camera.
Dennis
All four are stunning captures, but I prefer V4 because, with the man standing next to it, you can see the size of that wonderful winch.
Amazing colours, detail, DoF & composition in all of them.

I'm absolutely delighted with your feedback on these. I've been saving them to upload for a while now. I agree that the versions option can be very useful for a series like this.
It makes me think of all the assorted items this winch would wind up or down !!! It is nice to see it has been ''preserved'' and not removed.Good detailed images Pamela.And Alesund looks very picturesque. ( I just wonder if my Father had been there !!)

Plentiful reactions leaving little else to say but well done. V1 & V4 caught my eye in particular.

Hi Pamela
Every shot is good on it's own. I personally love the forth better.
Cheers

A beautiful series. I really like No. 4 with the patterns of the houses and the water meandering between them.
Phil.
saw this winch and it reminded me of the same thing i uploaded nearly a year ago, it was one found at the docks in Bridgwater Sommerset, I've done a mod for you where I have tried a technique that i have been dying to try, where you make the scene look like a model village, I'll leave wether it has worked in your hands..

V4 is like a jig saw, wonderful, also the reflections are so beautiful
Great photography here Pamela, well done.
Geoff.
A fabulous series Pamela, versions 2 and 3 are my personal favourites because of the array of colours and the composition
