Tall Ship - HM Bark Endeavour Replica

Thanks Lori ! This was taken as approaching the vessel. It’s so big I knew it would be hard to fit in the frame when I got in close. It’s a great ship – part of our country’s history.

It is ! I was supposed to get back in there today and get on the wharf it’s docked at, but time spent on RB made it impossible. I’ll still run a few close-up shots from Yesterday though.
This was gifted to Australia in 1988 for our Bi-Centenial by Britain. Young people with drug and crime problems go on extended trips on it and it changes their whole attitude and their lives !

Thanks Violetta ! The one beside it in my Gallery is its masts / sails. I appreciate the Fave !

No ! I got there too late yesterday – no admittance. I won’t get there now – on RB too long this arvo ! [ bad, addicted me ! ] Thanks for the Favourite Shanina !

I got some other shots of her, plus some arty photo subject matter yesterday. So it’s not all bad.

Thanks a lot Dingy ! :)
I’ve got a close up that will go on soon. I would have loved to get some shots on deck etc, but I missed out.

Thanks Daniel ! Very true – later, I jumped down onto the break wall to get closer shots but even on Wide the frame was “over full”. Thanks a lot for the Fave !

Thank you Cheryl ! I thought I’d get this one on the way up to it to show the whole ship and scene. Thanks a lot for the Fave !

Thanks very much ! Did you look at Christiane’s strange light in the forest shots ?
Thanks for the Fave !

Thanks very much Antanas ! Much appreciated !

Christiane had about 5 shots, I don’t know if you saw them all – she used to have them all consecutively posted. It depends on what your aim was, re: Photoshop. I’ll have to catch up with your work more often too.

Thanks very much Evita ! I noticed it was featured pretty soon after uploading it which was great news.

Wow ! Thank you Jim ! It’s an incredible ship and in this shot I wanted to fit it all in the frame with plenty of Blue.

Thanks very much RealPainter ! Yeah, Sharks are very scary creatures. But boating is excellent fun and very relaxing too. Thanks for the Fave !

Thanks a lot Carlos ! It’s a fantastic ship and it looked great sitting in our Port. I appreciate the Fave !

Thanks very much Deb ! I’m glad I thought to get this shot as approaching, because when you got up really close it wouldn’t all fit in the frame, without including an unattractive sea-wall.

Thanks very much Lindsay ! It was great to see one in our Port – it looked surreal. Thanks for the Fave !

An enthusiastic comment’s always appreciated, thanks Brad ! Thanks too for the fave ! This was the first time I’d seen these kinds of ships in real life, let alone photograph them.

Thanks a lot Sonia ! It looked amazing sitting in the Harbour in this day and age.

Thanks, it was a great thing to see in my city !

Thanks Luda ! It was an extremely rare sight to see one in my city’s harbour.

Thanks Karen, it was great to see !
