Boats (wooden and sailing), harbors, maritime landscapes (maybe with a high degree of Norway and Scotland) and such. Daily I post one of my own pictures. Expect one of my own and one reblogged picture daily, only occassionally more. Thanks to everyone who puts his pictures on tumblr so I can reblog them! (Read this also as: I try to reblog only from original sources or where the license is clear.) Look here for most (count > 1) tags used by me (tagcloud).

If this is chronologically then there seems to be no picture about the crew selection and assemble process (the hiring).

AT SEA.
Ship and boat diverged; the cold, damp night breeze blew between; a screaming gull flew overhead; the two hulls wildly rolled; we gave three heavy-hearted cheers, and blindly plunged like fate into the lone Atlantic.

Bunte Häuser gibt es in Neufundland überall. Flüsse enden meist an einer Kiesbarre mit so etwas wie einem Steinstrand.
