Sail away... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Remember Enya's song "Sail Away"? :)
Those are two Polish tall ships during Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race 2003 in Gdynia. Their names are "Dar Młodzieży" (The Youth's Gift) and "Dar Pomorza" (Pomerania's Gift). One of them does not sail anymore and only stays in the port, the other one is operational (I think it's the one in the back).

These old sailing ships sure look good against the blue sky ;-)
I can't tell you which of the two is stil operational from the look here, but from the name I can assure you that the "Dar Młodzieży" was still in perfect condition last August, when the ship visited my home town of Aarhus to participate in some sailing venue. I'll post a photo from then as a WS (not for rating).

Very nice picture and a good framing. Those ships are beautiful.

Very nice ships. I like the complexity of the intrincated wires in the masts, and the many little flags arond them. (nice pic of Bente Feldballe too).

Faktycznie...Jest to najlepsze miejsce do focenia tych "¯aglówek"

JPEG compression crunched it a little hard... some of the rigging looks a little ragged because of it. At 130K, you could probably relax the compression ration a little if you have a program that allows for that kind of thing. Sweet composition, color, etc. though.
