Once again we meet. This boat belongs to my family. It belonged to the Corretora fish canning factory which was in large part owned by my aunt. When the boat stopped being used my cousin Fernando had a brilliant idea of planting it on a corn field and redesign the inside of it to rent it to tourists. (the inside it had plumbing and electricity I'm not certain if it still does). Needless to say like most of his most brilliant ideas it didn't work. It now sits there and it is being used as feed storage. The property where it sits used to be the house of my great uncle Count of Fenais and his wife who died in 1945 leaving it to my godmother who died in 1996 and left to my cousin. I spent mnay childhood summer evenings and late afternons running in this field.
There's another photo of this boat here.

As for the photo it is excellent the colors are very true to reality. The peeling paint is great and the framing is fantastic. The flowers are meninas-pra-escola, a most hated flower of my childhood.

I love this, color, composition and subject. How do you like the Tamron XR DI on your D70? It is obvious I live in a boring part of the world, no boat like this!

Very nice.
