square sail rigger

The Phoenix from Portsmouth is now anchored in the harbour at Charlestown in Cornwall, ready for hire to film crews.

It was a wonderful blustery, sunshiny day. I had a bit of trouble at first getting the exposure right on my X20 which I hadn't used much lately.

She is a grand sight! Well done on the composition, all that tall rigging was difficult to balance

[Jenfurj]

The rigging looks great against the blue sky with the clouds. The older buildings add to the sense of the era.

@swillinbillyflynn I don't know if you follow this guy. He lives down in Cornwall and showed us this wonderful ship earlier. You've certainly got things spot on Hazel, lovely clarity and wonderful setting.

Lovely shot. A friend once said I was a bit like a phoenix, I always seem to rise up again from the ashes. Hope that is true.

@onewing

From where I'm sitting, it does certainly seem to be true, Babs.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Fav. Thanks for sharing. I am reading the Metro/UK every morning on my laptop. I saw some places had beautiful sunshine and others lots of rain. Both my children said it poured yesterday.

[Dixie Goode]

Every year two tall ships come through our area. I love them.
