Sea-Fever..

"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,. And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by"! I came across this poem by John Masefield and it really appealed to me all over again.
To this effect, I went down to our sea front and took this photo !
..and added to it!

Thankful for: Finding old photos in an old album i don't even remember!

This one looks especially nice when viewed on black and would be superb even without the additions.

Well placed additions - you illustrate the poem so well.

@grammyn the Black surround cuts the light out and enhances the picture nicely! Thanks, Katy!

[Pat Knowles]

That poem is so descriptive & I expect brings back memories of our schooldays. Your photo is a lovely illustration of seafaring days.

I like the sea splashing

[Maggiemae]

@happypat I originally said to myself preparing to go out - "I must go down to the sea in ships" then thought that doesn't sound right! But it is and its from the bible! Then I found the like poem.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Absolutely love it! I'll have to look up the poem- my childhood poems were all by A. A. Milne and Robert Louis Stevenson.
