Dances with midges

Abstract meaning at sea...

I spent enough years poring over the design of ships and their systems to love the shapes and patterns you produce.  The parallel pipework (in this case hydraulic pipes for a ferry ramp) versus the ordered scruffiness of the straps for holding petrol tankers on the car deck at sea.  But best of all, in the pattern of the pipes, the gentle flare of the hull is reproduced in their corner.  The ship and her ability to fight the sea, invisible in the overall shot of detail, is shown in a detail of the detail!  Maybe like the yeast of the kingdom of God, hidden in the detail of the detail...
