another shot taken with my craptastic disposable... but you're looking at the Lady's foremast, and all of its complicated rigging. pretty nifty, innit? ^^
and now time for the confession... I did tone down the saturation a bit in this one. and why is to get the feel of a lost, new sailor staring at the rigging and wondering how he'd ever learn it all. one line looks just like another, until your eyes and hands learn to tell the difference. granted, the blue sky and mast would look vastly different then the rigging... but the feel of sameness is what I wanted to get across. (and actually, I wanted to outright make it black and white, but then it would've looked too confusing, methinks) -- but anyway, I didn't think a simple lessening of saturation was enough to put this in photomanipulation, so here it stays.
...and question, am I the only one who the ratlines are calling to right now? *desperately wants to climb aboard a ship and go aloft*

I thought I recognized this one. Saw it in photoclub. Besides the gracefullness of the lines of the hull, and the billowy white strength of the sails, the maze of the rigging has always held a huge facination for me. As graceful and intricate as the lace of a spiders web.
