I love the textures; very nice shot (I wish I'd taken it… )

Love that rust

Wonder why this one wasn't painted, but the other chain wasn't.

Really good one here. The sense of strength in these massive chains has always fascinated me. Your tenacity in carrying that tripod everywhere is also amazing.

Take care,

Tom

The second anchor line (on the starboard side) appears to be a backup that's rarely used. One can think of several scenarios in which it might come in handy. i.e. in a very bad storm which could require 2 anchors to be deployed, also the primary anchor might have to be jettisoned if it got fouled on the bottom, or it might have to be jettisoned to get underway in a hurry in case of an attack.
