..went off to biloxi, ms last saturday..took a walk along the beach before feeding the casino’s slot machines..
..i guess the reason why these signs were put up was because of some numbskulls who jumped and hit their head on something..

I’ve been to Biloxi many a time, but not since Katrina. Are the grand old homes still standing across the road from the beach front? Are the huge pipes still jutting out into the water along the beach front? Did you realize what those were for? They carry the city sewage into the sea. The posting should say, “Swim at your own risk”. I like this capture. Not just an odd sign, but a wonderful composition.
i flickr’d biloxi before the trip and there were a lot of post-katrina images there.. it looks like they’re recovering and the casinos are slowly coming back.. haven’t seen those grand old homes yet or i probably haven’t noticed them.. i just walked down the beach and i did see those big pipes.. eew.. lol! 🙂 thanks!
that’s a nice shot Rian!! i like the way the boardwalk sways out of the picture and we see the water
Beautiful jetty shot. The colour is very nice and warm. What a lovely light
The lighting and shadows are fascinating in this shot Rian. Interesting sign, imagine someone tried jumping off of this bridge. Excellent perspective, also love the structure on the right, looks like a lighthouse.
I like the curved boardwalk and the view of the water. I especially like how you’ve maintained visibility into the shadows which could have become quite dark. Nice shooting.
Yep…there’s indeed a reason for the sign. Cool capture…like the perspective of the pier and framing…pulls your eye through the image.
Nice curves!
Nice lines and shadows.
Warnings are made for a reason: too many idiots out there who do stupid things =D. Very nice angle!
Bonsoir,
Well done shot..Nice perspective..Bravo!
Beautiful view and the shadows are just wonderful, I hope they still are able to read the words after a lot of drinks….. 😉
I like a lot this image.
There is a path in direction of the horizon, and even farther… This creates an ascending movement in your image, towards Heaven.
Well done, Rian

wow that was taken on the weekend – thought for sure it was a summer image. lovely tones.
It does look tempting to dive off there 🙂 Good thing they put that warning there!
Great composition, shadows and fonts!
Great capture, nice shadow and light play… now the question is would the divers look down on the walkway before they jump over the reiling?
love the tonalities. the blue of the water and end caps against the yellow of the wood. nice!
I’d like to dive here only because I can’t swim
Nice curves, nice place. Where is Biloxi??
oh, forgot to mention that part.. it’s in Mississippi.. 🙂 thanks.. 🙂
Nicely composed and great lines. Great color work as well.
