    Unique! We live very far from the ocean. I have no idea what this is exactly, but I like your idea very much. I like the composition too!

    Thanks :)

    These are ropes tying the bowsprit to the bow of the boat. It looked interesting so I took a picture of it :)

    The ropes, are made from hemp fibre and it would seem they may have been soaked in oil to help protect them from the harsh elements on the sea.
