Wagner’s Flying Dutchman

This ship came into the harbor mysterious; reminded me the production of Wagner’s Flying Dutchman I went last Saturday. There is nothing short of drama from my favorite opera composer (not the person). I hope this photo reflected a little of it.

I love it! It really does look dramatic and kind of spooky.

[Sharon Simpson]

Superb! A fav!!!!

[pauline briges]

wow love it

[Alicias]

Mysterious is the right word. I can imagine it slipping silently away the same way it arrived.

[Babs]

A very dramatic shot. Love it.

[Carol W]

It does conjure up all the elements of the opera story and the moody sky and light are perfect.

[Maggiemae]

I must put this music on again - love it! This picture with the dark skies would go well!

[Angela Tavan]

great shot with a lot of drama, fantastic silhouette. Gotta be a FAV!

[Pamela]

fav this is a great mood shot . Love the silouette and the shades of grey in the cloud in the background

[Ian McGuire]

mystery, brooding intrigue, Wagner playing in the background....how can this not be a fav?

[Dakotaburns]

Ian said it well -- this is indeed brooding.

[Ksenia]

Contrast, magic contrast! You leave so many afterthoughts in your pictures!!! Atmospheric, powerful and a bit pressive picture! Chartered ship is like animal in cage for me - ships are created to be free, to live at sea, to move towards adventures!!!

[Martin Husch]

contrast, clouds and simple lines, working well in this image

[Custodia Baptista]

Beautiful shot.

[Kareen King]

Lovely silhouette!

[Taffy]

This is a wonderful image. Love the silhouette and the tones of the background.

[Lisa Stein]

Very cool lines and angles in silhouette!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Interesting composition- not the usual so it makes you look twice. Turns out a nice silhouette too. Well done!
