hi Myra, to answer your question: the photo was taken in the Netherlands: it is the “MIR”, a Russian sail training ship, at home in “St. Petersburg”, built 1987, length: 109m, width: 14m, height: 50m, depth: 6,40m, sailcloth: 2771 m2 – leaving the harbour of Vlissingen, The Netherlands, Zeeland
View On Black
I’ve been surprised very much, that without any noise these tall ships have been approaching…
exactly in the same moment, when I shot the photo, a sunbeam hit the sails of the big ship, in the background bad black weather was creeping nearer and nearer …

Thank you Frizztext! You’re too kind. In your past challenges, I saw so many great photos; it makes me humble in the face of them!! But you’re sweet to compliment my photo! 🙂 I do want to know, where on earth did you see that sailing ship??
LikeLike
in the Netherlands, it’s a Russian ship; we had been on board before; the sailors were very poor; in the kitchen: some fishes they caught in the sea … the sailors / soldiers all were very thin – and they had no permission to leave their ship during the break in the harbor. I bought a cup from a sailor, so he had money for cigarettes …
LikeLike
Wow! That’s too bad that the poor sailors were so poor and were treated so badly. The ship looks so much grander than that; you would expect these would be kings of the sea!! It was nice of you to buy a cup from one so he could have a smoke. Speaking of Russian ships, that brings to mind the Kursk, the submarine sunk with all hands aboard, in the Barents Sea. I wrote a poem about it after it happened, but I don’t know where it is!! It’s a great story, Frizz. Do you tell it somewhere on your blog?
LikeLike
the Kursk, the submarine sunk with all hands aboard, in the Barents Sea: yes, a sad story – we saw many documents in TV…
LikeLike
Yes, Frizz, it was a very sad story. I remember being all caught up in it and appalled at the Russian government’s handling of the disaster….
LikeLike
as I remember, Russia did not give permission to Netherlands for their rescue teams – so the soldiers had to die …
LikeLike
Yes, Frizz, the Russian government did everything in their power NOT to save those men!! I remember being so angry over this incident!!
LikeLike
the reason seems to be, that they did not like to admit, that another Russian ship hit with a torpedo the poor submarine. it was a mistake. military headquarters do not like to apologize – they prefer to say nothing …

Hope you don’t mind but thought I’d add another “S”, with a slight play on words.
The rose signifies time “well-spent” rather than “spent”—meaning life is to be spent well and spent full—not “spent” on meaningless wastes of valuable time, thus exahusting true “life”.
I thought the quote so fitting. Hope you enjoy.
These challenges are incredible. Thanks for doing them.
