likalar Posted March 15, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Leica D-Lux 2 The Balclutha, a 300' square-rigged cargo ship was built in 1886 in Scotland. The Eppelton Hall, a twin engine steam sidewheeler from England, first saw service towing cargo vessels to and from the port of Newcastle, on the River Tyne. She was sold for scrap in 1967, and was eventually readied by a private party for a voyage to California, where she has lived since 1970. Both vessels are now displayed at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. Thanks for having a look. Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Allsopp Posted March 15, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 15, 2011 Are you sure you didn't take this picture 100 years ago? Wonderful mood for this old timers shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted March 15, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 15, 2011 Bill - Definitely not 100 years ago. If you look carefully you can see the tug's captain, though the bridge window, on his iPhone. Larry - Exquisite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

turner Posted March 16, 2011 Share #8 Posted March 16, 2011 Larry, Can't get nicer than this capture to convey the mood of a fog bound day in San Francisco. Turner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted March 17, 2011 Share #9 Posted March 17, 2011 I like this a lot. There’s a precision about what we can see and a vagueness about what we can't. The crop is perfect with plenty of foggy emptiness for the the tall masts to disappear into and leave us wondering just how tall they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likalar Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share #10 Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks to all for your comments. Euston, I appreciate your comment about the crop, as I had originally cropped tighter, then changed it. Thanks! Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
