PhotoHunt: nautical

A busy weekend for me, so I'm happy to be able to find a few pictures in my files that would fit the bill - of, or relating to ships, shipping, sailors. I suppose the first two from France aren't strictly ships, but they are relating to sailors. And the third in England may be in permanent dry-dock, but it most certainly is a ship.


A misty day on the Ile de Ré, west coast of France, New Year's Eve 2007.



A sunny autumn day in Marseillan, on the south coast of France, 2009.


HMS Victory in the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth 2008.

  3. Really like the composition of the second photo -- and also am glad to see what HMS Victory, a ship I've read of before, looks like! :)

  4. @ECL, if you do get to France, don't forget to tell me!
    @Pat, thanks, and a happy Valentine's Day to you too.
    @YTSL, now I wish I'd used a larger shot of the Victory. But it's so large and you can't get far enough away to show it all at once, unless out on a boat in the harbour.

  11. The first two shots are such appealing scenes with the sailboats and the last one is a great detail of the large ship.
