Hurray, it's fixed (my broken blog that is)!

I can't really place what I love so much about this image, but I think more than anything it's its theatrical quality, the way the crew seem almost like actors playing a scene against a sky blue enough to look like painted (enlarge the photo to really see what I mean). I'm not enough of a sailor to know whether they were coming in or going out, but whatever they were doing they were clearly enjoying every moment.

ReplyDeleteIt is pretty cool I must say.
But you really gotta do something about the black-on-black.
I know. It's apparently broken again. I'm guessing it's an issue with the site hosting the images, I'm in touch with the designer who hosts them to hopefully get it sorted out soon. Sorry folks.
ReplyDeletePULL!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this shot ... and the name of the ship!
Blogger is having problems today, I fear. Blogger told me one of my blogs didn't exist. HUH!?! But it's back. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot. It does have a theatrical feel.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, and I loved your description of it, too. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can see the photo and writing just fine. I agree with you about the photo. Those guys are posing, but it looks fun, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI love that one person looks like the lookout and one is taking care of what needs to be taken care of. Hope your blog gets fixed soon......I know how frustrating that can be.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! Thanks for sharing your skies.
ReplyDeleteI like the sense of movement in this one.
ReplyDeleteI can see all text and images - so hopefully the problem is fixed!
Yes, indeed....it does have a theatre-like feel to it! Great shot! And I agree...blogger is very frustrating when it is not working!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the way the guy on the right paused to pose for you. Did he offer an autograph, too?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a beautiful sunny day and it's always fun to watch young men work. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot! They definitely look like they are enjoying themselves.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of image, a little different for skywatch.
ReplyDeleteYes, they do look as though they're enjoying themselves, and why wouldn't they?
ReplyDeleteYes it does seem like a shot taken from a film! Pretty cool sailors too!
ReplyDeleteI love the name of the boat too!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool photo. I can see what you mean about looking like actors and a painted background. It's a very crisp picture.
ReplyDeleteThe website for the vessel is www.wanderbirdcruises.com and the crew is in the process of raising one of the small boats up onto the deck of the Wanderbird. Great photo......thank you. Rick Miles Wanderbird
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun surprise to hear from you Rick, and thanks for the explanation. I shot the photo during a beautiful sunset cruise on the Jenny Norman. We'll have to check you guys out too if we ever get back to Rockland again.
