Photographer’s Note

Taken in the museum of Vasa ship. It is a huge galleon that was built in 17th century that sank after sailing 1300 meters because of its bad design and being overloaded with too many cannons... Actually good that it sank cause otherwise it would be used in fights against Poland (my home country). ;-) They recovered it from the depths of the Baltic Sea in the 60s and now it is a huge touristic attraction. The best museum I have ever seen!

Hi Szymon !

Interesting that you're posting this one, I took myself some pictures at the Vasa Museum, and wanted to post a small serie on that.

Nice picture of the boat, and you also had that door bothering you in the far ! I really don't understand why they don't cover that door and window !!

I know it's quite difficult to have a broad view of the ship, well done !

Cheers,
Youssef.

The angle you choose with that blue light in the background gives a mysterious look to your picture. We can easyly imagine the pirates on board.
Very well done
