The Oil Boom

I have been fascinated with this yellow rubber oil boom.  It has air in it so it floats on top of the water.  It sits unused most of the time, but when an oil barge comes in to unload, they surround the barge with this oil boom in case of an oil spill.  The oil, being lighter than water, would float on the top of the water and be contained by the boom.   This is located down by where the old power plant used to be.  Usually the boom is in a straight line and I am always trying to make an interesting picture of it.  So far, no luck.   But yesterday it was bunched up and then from the left, these four Mallard ducks swam toward it in a line!  Bingo!  Here was my photograph, finally.  It is about something to do with nature versus man made technology, if you came here for sone philosophy!   :-)
