Looks like almost sailing to me too ;o) I used to like coiling the ropes, very satisfying ;o)

Certainly appears to be signifying a capability to be sailing, Astrid.

Did you actually sail on this vessel, or just content yourself with grabbing excellent photo-opportunities?
Picturit: I wished I could sail with this one....I have been sailing for many years though, now I only look and have my dreams tonguetonguetongue

Happy Birthday to Sander! He will ALWAYS be your bigger brother, dear Astrid. What a splendid tribute for his special day. I know he's proud of you, as he should be!

Just think: If it weren't for him, you would not be here on SC.
Picturit: Yes it is because of him that I saw all the pictures on SC and decided to join too, he is proud of me, he said so many times, you know we skype every saterday and we discuss all kind of things, photography is one of it, he is a very good photographer too.
Thanks Ginnie as always....

Love the simplicity of this shot Astrid. There is something about the combination of steely blue and rusty brown that really works well.
Ingrid
Picturit: Thank you Ingrid, your words mean a lot to me, this was a really nice boat and I love to sail myself so that is the reason I have some pictures of rope, water, sea.....

Lucky you to be by the water.

Sweet composition on this one, all that open space with water. The wood is beautiful, mostly what I find beautiful about boats.
Picturit: Ruth, when I see boats I have to look at them, I love to sail, I love the water, love the beach that is why we are always very pleased to be able to come to this island.
Astrid
What a nice simple composition Astrid, i love the blue colour of the water. Have a nice holiday. Brian.
Picturit: Thank you Brian, we are having a great time, the weather is very nice, sun, wind and a nice temperature.
Astrid.
Just enjoy your holiday Astrid ... dont worry about us involved with the hum drum daily life styles .. be selfish and for a short while forget about those SC rascles ... and come back refreshed energised and ready to battle with the likes of sheep and cat's eyes to name but two. richard
Picturit: LOL Richard....the daily humdrumlifestyles......and the SCrascals, this is a very good disciption....I will do just a little and I will look so once in a while...but on this island are thousands of sheep only cat-eyes I haven't seen yet.
Astrid.
Living on an Island these ferries and boats are a familiar ssight. Well taken, Astrid.
Picturit: I know you know this life, for me it is always a very happy time..and I love to come here.

A really wonderful photo, I like the contrast between the warm brown/yellow color and the cold blue background.
Picturit: Thank you so much Jan Erik, this is what I like about the boats, the woodwork and the smell of tar and the salty smell of the sea..
