The Argo at rest

The Argo at rest

It is a little know fact that the Jason and the Argonauts, those famous sailors of Greek mythology, once landed on the coast of Ireland. As they searched the world for the Golden Fleece, Jason was told by an unknown minstrel with a bit of a brogue, that Irish sheep are very easy to capture, being as the minute an oncoming car or truck appears on the horizon, said sheep promptly make themselves comfortable in the middle of the road. They refuse to move until shifted. Happy Days, thought Jason, if the Fleece is there, we’ll find it in no time; if not, we’ll be sure of a good Irish stew.
If you don’t believe me, look at this photo carefully. There is the mighty ship the Argo, bathing in the glow of an Irish sunset.

The ship is from one of my own photos taken in Greece. It was cut out and merged with a sunset shot I took in Donegal. Levels and curves used to darken, and Orton effect applied.
