This is a picture I took when I stopped at the Oyster Farm during my cycle to reach 江波山公園 (Ebayama Park) before sunset.

Whilst I haven’t seen many, I definitely haven’t seen a mooring ring so heavily encrusted with barnacles.

I wonder how long it took to have so many attached to it.

I think the pattern that the barnacles have formed is wonderful.

To me, they make the ring appear as though it has bark on it.

This is the thirtieth photo I’ve used for Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness“.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy.
