As I mentioned in the previous post, I pass by this 17th century Spanish War Ship each day that I cross from Anastasia Island to Cathedral Square. I want to post a few more photo-impressionisms of this glorious work of art. It is both beautiful and an architectural wonder. Yet, we can not forget its purpose. It was build to be a massively destructive war ship…so much for the fusion of desire and aggression.
But desire and aggression are not the issue this morning blog. This ship is the center-fold. Please enjoy a few more digitally crafted images of the Spanish Galleon.
The above image is from a dictionary definition of Galleon, a ship built for war. Don’t you just love the art of pen & ink. I do, a precise, clean, black and white and grey rendition of the world.
Speaking of black & white this is a photo taken at sunset looking west over the town.
Here she is, as if ready for a sun set cruise. What must it have been like to live on one of these or to be and Oar-man on one of these. The world must have appeared very small and dirty. Yet with the sun setting on her bow, she looks pretty as a princess ready for a ball.
I could post more shots of this ship and when I board her to get a close up, I am sure that I will add details.
