Ghost Ship by Stan Wojtaszek

Ghost Ship by

Along the shore of Wabigoon Lake stands a tugboat; a reminder of the days when logs were towed across the lake, in large booms, to the mill. I’ve eyed that boat countless times, trying to come up with a different view. A couple of days ago, while walking on the opposite shore, I spotted its reflection in the water. Differrent. At home, I inverted the image. Really different. The ripples in the water gave it a ghostly effect.
