This weekend we have the Tall Ships here in Victoria. Tonight they were out on the water performing a mock pirate ship battle along with canons. (fake of course). It was a beautiful sight to see.

paintbox These pictures look like they might have come from the 1800s. Very beautiful capture.

meiling First thoughts when I view these splendid shots:

"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like
a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over."

("Sea-Fever" by John Masefield)


Many thanks for sharing this excellent post. Best regards.
