livendive 8 #4 August 8, 2008 QuoteNo, I think the ship is real, but the turbines are shopped. That could very well be. Time magazine does at least tie it to a real event and location though.

jjiimmyyt 0 #5 August 8, 2008 Its not 'shopped, the figure is a part of a piece by Anthony Gormley on the beach near Burbo Bank wind farm. I guess the ship was just passing by.

PhreeZone 20 #7 August 8, 2008 Ahh.. see that would make more sense. I knew it could'nt be a real person standing there with that lighting. That shape being part of an art display makes a ton more sense.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe what Phree and I are seeing in the photo is the results of some general color and hue shopping to "make the photo better."--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Shotgun 1 #9 August 8, 2008 Quote That event is here now. http://www.tallshipschannelislands.com/ I want to sail on one of those ships sometime. I've seen the Californian down in San Diego Bay. It was moving so slow that we were sailing in circles around it on the Stars & Stripes. But it looks like it would be interesting to sail on it.

I'm no photo expert, but if the sun is out behind the ship, even up high, could that cause the silhouette shadow of the person standing waist deep in the water?"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Several years ago we had a customer event on the American Pride in Long Beach. We got to sail out with the crew and particpate - it was AWESOME! They also have camps where they sail it to catalina for two weeks and teach you to crew the tallships. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

I think all of those sails would freak me out, but maybe I'd get used to it. Oh, and to the OP: Yeah, that's a cool picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leapinglizardto 0 #16 August 9, 2008 You're not kidding, that is an odd but very cool pic. Thanks for sharing Dave! I got to sail for 10 days, on an exact replica of an 1832 tallship replica, in the summer of 2006! Along the Hudson, between from Lake Champlain to NYC . Very Cool ! « Ferris Buellher impression »If you ever have the means, I highly recommend one !
