down the crazy river



the knsm-and-java-island is best-known for its innovative architecture, but,
strolling there on sunday...



we found ourselves on a quay lined with ships whose sheer vibrancy seemed to keep them afloat.



they were in very poor repair, but the column of barely buoyant corroded colour
filled me with delight.



i decided to post a few of the brightest ones together.
they might disappear into my files otherwise, never to resurface.
there is only so much one can write about rust...
without referring to one's age, anyhow.
