This one is a bit more arty than I usually do. I played around with this one a lot. I still wasn’t happy. But then tried inverted. All the rigging lines stood out so I thought I would post and get your reactions.
How do they know which rope to pull? /
Just some of the rigging on the James Craig that sailed into Newcastle Harbour for the Newcastle Maritime Festival. Along with the Endeavour, these two grand old sailing ships added colour and history to this old port. Newcastle once was a regular stop off point for the old sailing ships as they unloaded and loaded their cargoes from all over the world. The James Craig is a three masted barque and was built in 1874 and had numerous incarnations during its life including that of a cargo ship and coal hulk and sailing all over the world. Today the James Craig regularly takes passengers to sea between many east coast Australian ports. /

PICTON CASTLE ,at the Tall Ships Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia, July 16, 2007 The Canadian 284-ton Barque Picton Castle is a traditionally rigged and operated sail training ship ,voyaging around the world under square sail. In 2005, on her fourth global circumnavigation, she sailed more than 30,000 sea miles across the South Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and South and North Atlantic Oceans, visiting remote islands and tropical ports including Panama, Galapagos, Pitcairn Island, Rarotonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, Bali, Madagascar, Cape Town, St. Helena, and the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean. All on board work, stand watch, and learn the way of a square-rigged sailing ship, also learning wire and rope rigging, sail making, boat handling, navigation, and practical seamanship. She also delivers educational material and other supplies to the remote islands. Outfitted to the highest standard with safety gear and equipment, she is a strong, seaworthy home afloat for young adventurers learning the art of deep-water seafaring.

Not my usual kind of photograph, but I was intrigued by the sight of an old oil rig in the foreground with bright windmills in the background. Taken from Balblair on the Black Isle looking towards Invergordon Did a bit of photoshopping :-) and voila! 57 40 32 N 4 09 52 W

© 2009 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Mau “Music was an important ingredient of ranch lifestyle, adding a joyous note to celebrations and gatherings and relieving the loneliness of paniolo working remote areas of the ranch. Before the era of television and other distractions, paniolo also serenaded their neighbors, bringing music and companionship to far-flung communities. Paniolo music was and is vocal, songs accompanied by guitar and/or `ukulele, stringed instruments whose portability is well-suited to cowboy life. Guitars arrived with the Mexican vaquero, while `ukulele developed later from the Portuguese branguiha brought by immigrants in 1879. Guitar playing grew a uniquely Hawaiian style called kiho`alu or slack-key. Open tuning of the strings produced a specific chord when the instrument was strummed. Some standard slack-key tunings are called taro patch, wahine and maunaloa. Other original tunings – more openly shared nowadays – were carefully guarded family secrets among older generations. Originally, slack-key guitar always accompanied song lyrics. Today it is often performed as a solo instrumental. The paniolo’s other instrument was his voice. Leo ki`eki`e or falsetto singing may have come from the Mexican falsetto tradition of the Vera Cruz area. It also had antecedents in ancient Hawaiian chant. Yodeling – later a popular element in country-western music – made an early appearance in paniolo songs. Church hymns strongly influenced paniolo harmonies. Paniolo songs document and celebrate ranch life. Always composed in the Hawaiian language, they portray personalities, events, work activities and special places. “Wiomina” tells of the 1908 rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming. “Me Ka Nani a `o Kaupo” describes Kaupo Ranch on Maui. A round-up of wild cattle is the subject of “Pu`uhuluhulu” and “Ku`u Hoa Hololio” talks about the partnership between a paniolo and his horse. Many songs use kaona, the veiled or metaphoric meaning of words so common to ancient chant and poetry. As an example, “Ne`ene`e Mai a Pili” is on one level about horseback riding, but the motions and emotions can also be understood as a description of lovemaking. Paniolo music is a folksong tradition with compositions passed on orally. Many songs have come to us passed down through families. While most songs were composed and played by paniolo themselves, composers like Charles E. King, Marcus Shutte and Sol K. Bright also wrote songs about paniolo although they were not cowboys themselves. While ranching has dwindled as an activity on the Islands, paniolo traditions live on. Singers like Sonny Chillingworth, Kindy Sprout and others perform and record the rich paniolo legacy.” Quote Text by hawaiihistory.org Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 12 May 2009 17:23:51 / Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE / Tv 1/15 Av 6.3 Partial Metering ISO 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 28.0 mm
Oh my goodness…I just sold a Matte Print of this piece. I am so thankful to whomever bought it. Thanks so much!! I am honored!! I just loved our trip to Hereford, Tx because I could shoot all the pics I wanted out of my window….while hubby drove. :)) Woohoo for me. I loved these oil rigs. Most people wouldn’t think that there is much scenery along the way in this part of Texas, but I loved it. Oil rigs, Wind Turbines, old barns, farmers working in their fields, train after train (the kids loved that part!) etc etc. Loved it!!
Number 3 in the Rugged Rig Series. This classic Peterbilt is painted yellow on white. The skull and bones license plate was a real nice touch on this rig.

FEATURED DEC 2009 MYSTERIES OF THE COMMON / I am posting these two shots in tandem, and dedicating them to one of our closest friends, who underwent a major heart intervention this morning, and has come out FINE!!!. We are “The Rusty Hearts” dear friends. Maybe a little rusty, but we still work fine… xxx I am also wishing to enter one of these shots into a challenge, and would appreciate people’s opinions about which shot is preferred.

Evening falls over the Atlantic Ocean and the Bark Europa sails towards a new day. I took the opportunity to sail as a trainee crew member from Bermuda to Charleston, SC, a race leg of the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge 2009. An amazing experience!
With the wind dropping out, Captain Klaas ordered the studding sails, or stuns’sls as they’re more commonly known, to be set to eek out every bit of the small puffs of wind. This view is from the skiff which the trainee crew were taken out on to get a view of the beautiful Bark Europa from the water. I grabbed the opportunity to sail as a trainee crew member on the Bark Europa from Bermuda to Charleston, SC, a race leg on the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge 2009. An amazing experience!
