Gdansk Shipyard Tale

At first,

I can't decide whether to make fantastic details and rhythms,

or whether the shipyard workers at work
or maybe illustrate the enormity of the hall.

As usual, I get used to the place for a good half an hour. 
After this time, the race of thoughts and ideas
is replaced by clarity and a plan - the shipyard is all about color and sound.

- Are you afraid of heights? 
- this is how I catch a ride. The crane takes us up the hall in a metal basket and from there we land on a huge element of the ship under construction.

They hook the hooks.

Actually, it is a symphony.

At the bottom, a shipyard worker conducts the orchestra. 
Next to him, the soloists spread their arms wide 
in a joyful gesture after the performance. 
Enjoy watching and listening.  Even though the ears hurt.

On the slipway, on the second day of the session, 
a concert of compositions: a monumental ship and port crane,

an etude of pipes,  ropes, and shapes, 
colors, people, sounds, and layouts

Saying goodbye to the shipyard, 
I know that I will work on their diaporamic combination.
