Rusty freighter at rest

She's been places

The CSL Welland bulk freighter sits dockside in Toronto as her crew busily unloads her in advance of her next trip.

Her burnt-orange sides betray years of abuse from being squeezed through locks barely wider than her beam, yet still she sails, quietly powering the industrial economy most of us never bother to think about.

Why am I shooting mournful photos of a rusty boat?

Maybe not everything needs a reason. Maybe I just want to remember what it feels like to stand beside the chilled lake and watch the barely perceptible breeze trace gentle ripples in its waters.
