How lucky were you to get this great picture. I once saw some large palm trees being moved along a canal behind houses. That would have made a good picture, it was sure stopping the traffic. Well done=^..^= #529713Bill Foxworthy September 27, 2006
Thanks Chris, It was quite a sight. #3370568Chris Ebben September 27, 2006
You wouldn't believe it, it was just on our TV news. I was watching the Terri Irwin interview over the loss of Steve & on came your "house". When you have a minute, you'll have to write me a bit about it. #3371237Mary C. Legg October 19, 2006
this is really a great pic and caught my eye because at first I thought it was one of those famous double-ended Washington State ferries, but it looked a bit odd in the superstructure. The problem of living in landlocked country so long is that you forget the difference between a boat and a house and for some they are the same.what's great is that the house is about all that breaks the line of sea and horizon and so seems to be an artificial iceberg or something out of an Escher painting especially with the glassy smooth water and fab clouds
never mind I digress-- #3473695
