I love the colours. Topaz really works in this shot.

The bright wall does a good job with this shot. It somehow makes me think of Norman Rockwell with your processing and the activity going on. Wait until Ken (Art R) gets this and clones in some steam coming from the engineer's nose : )

I see exactly how this works, although I have never seen a helm set up like this. I can just imagine how it must have been to try to steer this rig in a rolling sea with the deck slippery with whale oil. It's also a lot easier to steer a boat when the wheel is in front of you instead of the other way in the boat. Those guys were tough in the days when this ship sailed.
I notice that they lashed the wheel to keep people from trying to play with it.

I don't really get the mechanics, but neat processing and composition. 8)

Oh, Bear. My favorite spot. Went there for a visit after reading Patrick O'Brien's, Masters and Commanders.
Ladies are on a mission.

Some pretty fancy wood work. Hard to port? Or hard to stern?

Great job with this one. Even though I live only minutes from here, I have rarely eaten there. It seems more the tourist spot. I prefer some of the lesser known places for a good pie.

I sure hope you enjoyed your visit to my little corner of NE. Stop by again soon!
