As I was walking along the shoreline of the California Maritime Academy in Vallejo, California, I captured this shot of two students who were practicing their sailing skills on the San Pablo Bay near sunset. in the distance, the ConocoPhillips oil terminal can be seen where tankers and tug boats can be seen with Mount Tamalpais in the background.

 

Some of my Flickr friends commented that these two photos were panoramas... and rightfully so. However, these were not stitched together from several photos. Instead, they are cropped images. I used to never cropped photos in this manner but have done a few recently to get a more pleasing image. I guess it is indicative of a change in my philosophy and a willingness to try something different.

 

By the way--the title is a play on words. Here in the US, many people who have small children put small signs on their cars' back windshields that say "Baby On Board" in an effort to warn other drivers to be careful around them. In the case of my picture, I hope that other boaters and ships are always careful around our young sailors!
