Yellow Dory
Near Stroudwater Village coming into the city, I came across this boat leaning against a fence. When I was in college, 'Son of Sor' (a very good friend. Don't ask) came to Maine for a visit, and I took him to the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in his life. He lived in Western New York and truly had never tipped a toe in the ocean. Having lived in close proximity to the water, I thought this rather strange. On the other hand, I've lived near the water, not on the water most of my life. I've never owned a canoe or any type of boat for that matter, and I have no problem with this. I sleep well at night too. When I'm on the water, I want to be aboard a BIG boat, preferably one with many lifeboats.
Bon voyage!
I was at an advanced age when I first poked my toe in the ocean. When I did, I was hooked. We are headed back this fall for a visit and some chowda. Love the photo.
ReplyDeleteIt's always moving to see someone discovering the sea for the first time; Especially "some years" ago, when pictures, tv and interenet were not so used. It gave us a new eye, a re-discovery of our own environement. i've always been living near the sea, and I really miss it when I'm far away..
ReplyDeleteI think you have missed something :-)
ReplyDeleteDelicious colours and composition!
Now that makes perfect sense to me.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a wonderful eye !
ReplyDeleteThat really is a nice composition.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine living more than five minutes away from the ocean Birdman, the air is so clear and fresh...but the deep water scares me to death..go figure :)
ReplyDeleteI live out here in the PNW surrounded by water and have never owned a boat either much less spent much time in one. I do like the water though and enjoy my time there just on floating aboard some contraption. MB
