Reflection of the tall ship Concordia which was leaving that day from Lunenburg with a Canadian high school class aboard who live aboard for 6months sailing and training. Also doing their schoolwork as they travel the world. An amazing experience.
Link with info about the school.
There is sad news today Feb 19 2010 she sank.
OMG I met the parents and the kids the day they set sail.
How very sad. I am glad they got off safely.
She was such a beautiful ship.
Brazil: all 64 rescued after Canadian ship sinks
Buzz up!1 vote Send
RIO DE JANEIRO – A sailing ship owned by a Canadian school sank off the coast of Brazil in strong winds, but all 64 passengers were rescued from rafts Friday.
"Everyone aboard the ship has been rescued — they've all been accounted for," a Navy spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak about the incident.
Brazil's Navy said in a statement that a distress signal was picked up from the three-masted SV Concordia about 5 p.m. (2 p.m. EST; 1900 GMT) Thursday. It was located about 300 miles off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
Three hours later, an Air Force plane spotted life rafts floating in the ocean where the distress beacon had come from. The Navy had already informed shipping in the region to be on the alert.
The Navy sent its own rescue ship, but those aboard the Canadian ship were plucked from the ocean early Friday by other vessels.
The Concordia is owned by West Island College International in Nova Scotia.
Canada's Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon said nobody on board was injured and he thanked "Brazilian authorities who led a search and rescue operation and acted swiftly to assist the ship and its passengers."
The school said in a statement on its Web site that the Concordia was on a 10-month voyage. It added the "status of the vessel is unknown," though the Brazilian Navy said it sank.
Terry Davies, founder the school, told The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. that the rescued passengers were being taken back to Rio de Janeiro.
He said 42 Canadians were on board the ship, but didn't say where the others were from.
The ship had left Brazil's northeast on Feb. 8 and was expected to dock in Montevideo, Uruguay, on Tuesday. It was then scheduled to stop at several islands in the Atlantic and in southern Africa before returning to the Caribbean and then to Canada.
The school's Web site says the 188-foot-long (57.5-meter-long) Concordia was built in 1992 and "meets all of the international requirements for safety." It can carry up to 66 passengers and crew and also can operate under motor power.
The college's Web site says it gives high school and college students the chance to study various subjects while sailing the world. Tuition is listed as being 42,500 Canadian dollars ($40,600) a year for students in the 11th and 12th grades and in university.

Reflection
The reflection of a man and a woman on the window of a tram, symbolising the depth of reflection. Their silhouettes, half-blurred, seem to be immersed in a distant, almost pensive thought. Their faces, marked by an expression of silent concern, reveal an inner state, as if the movement of the tram were witnessing a moment of shared solitude, a moment suspended in time.
Réflexion
Le reflet d’un homme et d’une femme sur la vitre d’un tramway, symbolisant la profondeur de la réflexion. Leurs silhouettes, à moitié floues, semblent plongées dans une pensée lointaine, presque songeuse. Leurs visages, marqués par une expression de préoccupation silencieuse, révèlent un état intérieur, comme si le mouvement du tramway devenait le témoin d’un moment de solitude partagée, un instant suspendu dans le temps.
L’amore è la più saggia delle follie, un’amarezza capace di soffocare, una dolcezza capace di guarire.
(William Shakespeare)
"Reflections of Roseates" by Patti Deters. A group of six Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) waterbirds forage in the shallow waters in a Florida marsh. These are large waterfowl that get their pink coloring from the foods they eat, digging into the muddy bottoms of swamps. An interesting fact is that as they get older, their heads get more white and bald!

"...as though (s)he is recognizing for the first time the complexity of its construction and, through it, perhaps, the very wonder of life–– reminding us that reflection is requisite to wisdom."

Here is a video of timelapses taken during my Reflection Canyon trip from 3/31/2019 to 4/3/2019. It was such an unforgettable experience to witness the nature beauty in such a low water level.
Got couple shots of the gull before someone made a noise and drove the bird away. Taken at Flushing Meadow park, Queens NYC.
This image was taken at the wildlife refuge in Titusville, Fl. It is a small pond with a lot of wildlife around and in it at certain times of the day and year. We were there mid afternoon and it was gloomy and rainy and we didn't get much action, but I thought the calm water and the reflections from it were worth sharing..
In the train going to New York to see the exhibition "Capa in color" at the International center of photography. Playing with my iphone trying to catch buildings, motion and reflections.
This one got all of the above :-)
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me...
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality...
Spent the New Year out in the land yacht hunkered down in the Sierra foothills partaking in a 4 year tradition that will change next year because of this park's weak backbone when it comes to enforcing their "rules"...
Needless to say,
HAPPY NEW YEAR FLICKrHEADS...
