One from the Summer

"Silhouettes and symmetry at low tide. Searching for contrast between the heavy skies and the rippled mudflats. Shot at 27mm."

Echoes of the Past: The Santa Bernarda Caravel

Although originally built as a French fishing trawler in 1968, the Santa Bernarda was cleverly retrofitted for tourism to evoke the silhouette of a 15th-century Portuguese caravel. While her double-masted rig and wooden decks nod to the classic nautical traits of vessels from the Age of Discovery, she seamlessly blends these historical elements with modern engineering and contemporary navigation systems.
