Jane- Brings back some wonderful memories. Of all the places in Wisconsin, which I still call home, this is one of my favorites. Annie and I had our first date in Port Washington.
What a beautiful sight this is, the old maritime ships. The lighting is what makes this picture stand out so beautifully. It just does so much for it. Love the tall mast of the ship and all the lines that run off them. Gorgeous colors that have a golden glow. The composition is stunning. Love the rocks and water and the way you got the lighthouse in the background there. We walked out to that.
Into my favorites. Beautiful work my friend.
Have a wonderful day, you take care. #7854048
