This was mostly just an experiment in seeing if I could make a boat transformer. Not especially refined, but I may revisit the idea one day.

Can ye fathom the ocean, dark and deep, where the mighty waves and the grandeur sweep? ~Fanny Crosby
A low, thick fog obscures the deck of the Golden Gate Bridge, half an hour before sunrise. San Francisco, California.
The Full Fathom Five installation on the very edge of Portishead Marina, overlooking the sea, taken about 1hr after sunrise. Love those long shadows.

Like every engaging photography exposition, the Stefean Vanfleteren' Present show at FoMu (the Antwerp provincial photography museum) besides photographs, offers a lot of contextual information and materials, like in the room shown here. Amongst other things, displayed are artefacts of the 'Elvis & Presley' project and the meticulous compilation of the shots that were taken by a young Vanfleteren at a shooting gallery (schiettent) at a Flanders fun fair.
This is number 4 of the new Stefan Vanfleteren at FoMu album. Numbers 1 -3 were taken during his first, 2007 expo - the one that, together with the "Belgicum' book, started his career.

self-portrait
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them,—ding-dong, bell.
William Shakespeare

The Emir of Bukhara, Seyid Abdul Ahad Khan, often visited the Caucasian Mineral Waters and decided to get a summer residence. In 1905, by imperial decree, a land plot of 1.7 square fathoms (0.77 hectares) was allocated to him.
The Emir was the seventh ruler of the Uzbek Mangyt dynasty, which traced its ancient lineage through the female line from Genghis Khan. It is known that Seyid Abdul Ahan Khan was friends with Nicholas II. The palace in Zheleznovodsk is the second major residence of the Emir in Russia; his first luxurious palace is located in Yalta, not far from Primorsky Park.
The project for the palace in Zheleznovodsk was developed by civil engineer V.N. Semenov. It was erected by the chief architect of the Caucasian Mineral Waters Administration I.I. Baikov and civil architect V.F. Zimmerman. The palace was built over five years, from 1907 to 1912.
This sculpture is by Michael Dan Archer and is located at the sea's edge at Port Marine, in Portishead.
It's one of the largest outdoor sculpture installations within the the UK. Many of the stone columns have inscriptions on them realating to the sea.
I was lucky enough to see them on a beautiful sunny day, in all their glory

I love these kind of in-your-face shots or car eyes or faces.
One of a series of 3 tribute paintings of 1999, by expressionist artist Stephen B Whatley, of 1950s Hollywood film actress, Paula Hill (USA 1926-2000).
The B-movie actress was credited in 3 of her films as Mary Hill; most notably as the leading lady of the surreal 1952 science fiction movie, Mesa of Lost Women; which has acquired something of a cult status since the early 1980s. She also appeared, as Mary Hill, in the celebrated classic, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (1953).
The painting was inspired by a photograph the artist took from television, of the actress in a scene from the black & white film, which also featured Jackie Coogan, Robert Knapp, Allan Nixon, Tandra Quinn, Dolores Fuller, Mona McKinnon, Richard Travis, Angelo Rossito & Katherine Victor.
