on deck


Sometimes when you walk, you need to force yourself to look downward toward your feet. What wonderful things there are to see, besides a great pair of walking shoes. This metal object is planted into the wooden planks aboard the deck of the ms Zaandam. It has a wonderful green patina and a sort of turquoise layer in a rusty sort of disk. I think the center square allows it to be opened, but I can't imagine what it would reveal. Surely "sound" means something, or it could just refer to a manufacturer. Much to ponder......and to think that thousands of people have walked past this very spot and never looked down to see the beauty of this metal object. I have enjoyed sharing it with you. I can almost feel the breeze on my face and smell the tang of the saltwater...
