Tall ships

Kaskelot tall ship in Charlestown Harbour Cornwall England.

Sea Fever

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 grey mist on the sea’s face and a grey 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.

    This is eerie… I feel like some villager watching the bandits walk in to town. Did you really take this, and why do I feel like I am stepping into a past life?

    This was taken on Friday last week! Charlestown is used for many movies due to its victorian look.

    VICTORIAN???? Bloody hell – is that what you call it, it’s evoked something in me this image… I feel the threat of something ominous, and I am not like that. It’s wonderful.

    congratulations, Paul beautiful shot. I can’t begin to imagine what it must have felt like to serve on these ships back in the days when they all looked like this. Awsome.

    Well taken.

    IMO, and for what it is worth, I think it would look better if you had cloned out the leaves in the top right, as they are a bit distracting.
