if you squint just enough to blur out the modern fishing boats. you can almost look back in time.

Nice whaleboats! Well captured. Most viewers have no idea as to their purpose.

Thanks Gary. I was born & raised in South Dartmouth. Whereabouts are you? Yes, I read about the funds raised.

right off smith neck road near the beaches. i took my boat into the harbor, right near where you took your picture, to see the Charles W. Morgan. i should post my pictures. not that the pictures are that great but the ship sure is. and, the history behind those whaling ships is amazing. can you imagine crossing entire oceans w/ just a sextant. you only know where you are @ noon and midnight. And, it can't be cloudy. those guys were true navigators. gary

The composition is wonderful. I like HDR a lot, but prefer the natural or photo version more than the "grunge". David
