A Table Setting


On my walk each time I pass a marina and storage yard that has all kinds of stuff up on the land in storage. Boats, an old crane, cars, a truck and who knows what else.  One time there were tables set up out on the sidewalk and they were selling all kinds of stuff, including this stuff.  I remember all these plates and silverware.  Clearly, when it was over they just put this piece of plywood with all this stuff on the ground and I bet it has been here for 5 years.  I always look through the fence to see if there are things I want to photograph and I saw this the other day.  "A Table Setting."  Well, not exactly, but what an interesting collection of stuff!  I did have to shoot through a chain link fence so this photograph is not as clear and sharp as it should be.  Please click on this image - there is so much stuff to see here!

This makes me sad that it has become a dumping ground. I wonder why the owners don't clean it up or store it properly. Has it been abandoned for 5 years?

An interesting photo for sure and I really like the very subtle bits of color to an otherwise nearly black and white image. It would be interesting to know if someone has inadvertently discarded pieces of sterling silver - at about $75 per once it might be worthwhile to sneak through the fence and sift through these pieces in search of silver!

This part of the marina away from the water is behind a chain link fence with the green inserts so all the junk in here is not immediately obvious to people driving by, You cannot believe all the stuff that is stored there! I will take a few photos and send them to you!

So sad to see this mess. It looks as if there are a few pieces worth money…
