Under the Pier

Graphism

I have been having some problems with my vision. I have surgery scheduled to have cataracts removed. In the meantime, I can't see the computer or read very well. And looking through the viewfinder of my camera doesn't work at all. Some days I have terrible headaches and I don't leave comments because of the headache or just the inability to see well. Anyway, please bear with me!

Alors vivement l'opération, ce sont des interventions rapides et qui se passent très très bien.
En attendant, prends soin de toi.
J'aime beaucoup ta photo, et elle est d'une grande originalité.
Bonne journée Elaine.

Superb image Elaine. I hope you can get your eye's sorted out soon, I can't imagine anything worse for those of us that love photography and to look at images.

@Doug: Thanks Doug. I have been putting this off for quite some time and then all of a sudden I can't see very well. Hopefully the surgery will take care of it.

I like the vertical abstract designs of the pier with the waves and sky in a horizontal plane.

Eye-catching graphics spotted under the pier, coupled by the beautiful backdrop! Good luck with your cataract surgery. We'll be thinking of you.

@Steven: Thank you Steven. I have been putting it off for quite a while but all of a sudden the vision just got a lot worse.

Roger Dekert from VAUREAL, France

There's a lot going on under the pier.
We are sheltered to admire this magnificent sky
As for the cataract operation, my better half has just had both eyes operated on, the result is magical, she has regained color vision, contrasts, it's great
Good luck

@Roger Dekert: I hear a lot of people say how much better they can see so I am looking forward to getting it done. I have put it off for about 4 years and then all of a sudden my vision got a lot worse.

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France

Perfect for the theme... but above all good recovery.

@Francesc B.: Thank you very much! Looking forward to seeing better!

Your vision for this image was exceptional. I love it. The surgery should give you some relief. It's a rite of passage for those of us of a certain age. Good luck.
