It's not to far from my home and it's just some people that enjoy doing unusual things. They have built a huge lagoon and in the back of this shot they have tepees and on other spots on their property they have a story book setting something like a gingerbread house, they have an old west setting, an old school setting, an old church setting and on and on and on.....

It's really cool there.

Very interesting scene, but it is hard to make out the details against the background. It seems like it may be oversharpened a bit.

Remarks: an absolutely magical find, both locale and immediate subject, which should leave any viewer puzzled and intrigued. To my sense, however, the image appears severely over-sharpened; the subject's placement against the direction of its natural forward course, as well as the inclusion of redundant elements in the foreground, is unfortunate, given the apparent potential of such a rare view.

I would love to revisit a lovingly remade version of this fascinating adventure.

Oh, this is terrific. I love the mystery involving the ship and why it's here. Stark B&W works well here.
