The hull of the Cutty Sark, viewed from underneath, heading towards you. Built in 1869, she was the fastest tea clipper ship of her day and the only one to survive to modern times. The British National Maritime Museum has set her up in a very stunning way, to permit you to walk underneath her metal-clad hull. I thought about doing this in black and white, but the wonderful tones of that metal hull would have been lost. The depth calculations are written on the sides, in white. You can see the rest of her, rising up above the plexiglass.
10/1/2020: Finished year 7 (!), with continuing gratitude towards this amazing community. Based in St. Louis, MO. Regular worker-bee and self-taught photography dilettante....
Fantastic shot, and as @jyokota said 'such a Rosie shot' ! I have not been here since the renovation, goes to show how long ago it was that I was there, back then you could only go on the ship itself not below it.
@ukandie1 Thanks for stopping by... the UK is an embarrassment of riches, on the photography front (and on many others). We had a simply terrific time.
@taffy As soon as I walked into the display, I just knew this was going to be a super-fun place to take pictures. :). They did a great job with this museum.
Another one I would like to fav at least 10 times. I love the perspective, detail, symmetry clarity, points of interest seen through it and arount the sides, leaing lines. What else!
