There is really something special about the big tall ships. It’s a great shot of Shtandart. And the same can be said about the other photographs. You have a good eye for capturing the moment, even when there isn’t one, like with the car crashing through the wall.

A very beautiful photo: the full sails, the flags whipping about, the sun glistening on the water, the lone seagull in the clouds above. You’re right. A sailing ship is a good metaphor for the possibility of new horizons.
