    Tall Ships have a great impact on Western History so there is a certain charm or wonder about them but here the drama created by the fierce clouds and reflection make an powerful statement !

    I’VE ALWAYS HAD A THING FOR THE OLD SAILING SHIPS, I COMPLETELY BUILT A MODEL OF THE CUTTY SARK, YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS A KID. ONLY TO HAVE MY SISTER KNOCK IT OFF THE HEADBOARD OF MY BED AND BREAK IT. IT HAD FOUR MASTS, IT TORE THEM TO PIECES. I TRIED A SECOND ONE A YEAR LATER. I GOT ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH THAT ONE, BEFORE SISTER DID IT AGAIN. I GAVE UP ON THE SECOND ONE AND NEVER TRIED TO DO ANOTHER ONE. I’VE GOT A COUPLE OF SHOTS OF THE STAR OF INDIA, MOORED IN SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA. BOB ;)
