I have posted the cropped original on TE.

This version has been transformed in a TrekLens look, even bluer, by my daughter Rebecca. She has used the "Scriptina" character.

===========================

In the Netherlands mussels are mainly grown in floor culture on the mussel plots. Here in Bruinisse, our village with a rather important fishing harbour, the mussels are also experimentely grown in the so-called "Hangcultuur'.

In spring, the seed (spat/larvae) collectors are prepared and deployed in seed producing areas. At this time the Sleeving process begins.
Sleeving (seeding) is the operation by which juvenile or seed mussels are loaded onto mesh sleeves.

By the fall of the year the mussel seed will have grown to a size of 5 to 20 mm and socking season begins. The mussel seed are stripped from the collectors, de-clumped and graded into uniform size classes before being places into plastic mesh sleeves/tubes called socks.
The socks containing the mussels are then hung from longlines and the longlines suspended below the surface for over-wintering - Here hanging under these blue barrels - The mussels hang high in the water, where the food offer is optimum and the mussels need no silt or sand.
Because of this the mussels will grow fast and get them sticking out a flesh weight and and more fine taste and absolutely without any sand.

During the spring and summer of the year following the socking, the mussel farmer is busy adding floatation to the longlines as the crop grows and the mussel socks gain weight.

That is really great! Both versions! The color and reflections are perfect. Great job! JP

It have a good visual what you show us.. Good idea to convert in blue!

It's a great composition! I couldn't ignore this one, being blue my favorite color ;-) Well done! Great note also!

Hi Viviane,
amazing shot, so graphical and abstract!
I like the blue tone and the dark reflections in the water, so to complete the circles.
The fade in the top is very good and the frame you chose compliments the compositon.
Well done!
Marisa

Excellent shot presented in a very profesional way, well done!

This is a beautiful picture that shows that art does not imitate life; sometimes it *is* life.

Very interesting and informative note. I did not really get a sense of scale before reading your note and looking closer at the blue barrels. I thought they were plastic cups before. I like the pattern as well as the relection created by these floatings barrels. Now that I know that they they contain delicious mussels they make me hungry. TFS.

Salut Viviane et bonne année,
J'aime beaucoup cette photo bravo! Et ta note est très intéréssante, merci.
