Not many shots taken on Easter Monday. Apart from our walk with JP to the Motorbike shop (nothing interesting to photograph on the way) we were a bit stale on what else to do. But Christine heard on the weather forecast that the day would be very windy and the sea rough and that it would get worse later in the day and she was worried about the ferry trip back to Malta. In fact she insisted that we returned before lunch time rather than in the evening as planned. So we, Denise and Ian (with Max) gave in to her wishes. JP, with his family who had joined us on Saturday stayed behind for another day.
This is one of the shots I took from the deck of our ferry boat of one of the other ferries coming from the opposite direction. At one time I almost got drenched when a wave hit the ferry on the side where I was and the splash came up to the deck.
Joke: A ferry boat was caught in very rough sea and sank with everyone on board except for a young wife, her boorish husband and a young good-looking sailor who managed to swim to a tiny, deserted island in the middle of nowhere.
One morning, the sailor climbed a tall coconut tree and yelled, "Stop making love down there!"
"What's the matter with you?" the husband said when the sailor climbed down. '"We weren't making love."
"Sorry," said the sailor, "From up there it looked like you were."
Every morning thereafter, the sailor scaled the same tree and yelled the same thing. Finally the husband decided to climb the tree and see for himself.
With great difficulty, he made his way to the top.
The husband says to himself, "By golly he's right! It DOES look like they're making love down there!"
Thank you very much for looking and for the comments - very interesting ones, too - on yesterday's picture.
i like the rough sea, but the coastline more. i shoot a couple rolls of film a year for the fun of it with an antique-almost as old as me-voigtlander camera. a pretty simple camera but a masterpiece of german engineering.
@ivan mine is the vitomatic II same lens and looks very similar to yours. i just take it out for fun once in a while, but i love the images it produces.
@tonydebont We did but it wasn't too bad. Have been on the ferry on rougher seas.
