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).
Don't wanna be here? Send us removal request.

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.

TALLINN: The capital of Estonia is perhaps not the place where one would expect to find the remains of medieval ships, but that is exactly what happened to a group of construction workers in Tallinn this week.

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