About
We had an interesting Sunday afternoon. It started at Swedish Day 2005 - a Midsummer Celebration in Geneva, Illinois.
One of the attractions they had was this Viking ship, an exact copy of the ship dug out of a mound in 1880 at Gogstad, near Sande Fjord, Norway. This ship traveled in 1893 from Bergen/Norway to New London/Connecticut in 44 days and arrived in Chicago at the World's Fair on July 12th, 1893 (http://www.naha.stolaf.edu/archivist.htm).
Picture details: Aperture: f7.1, shutter: 1/200s, focal length: 18mm, no flash, no tripod.
Thank you, Bruno. I agree that the white tent makes the picture much calmer.
I had several shots with the green grass and the forest in the background, and I dismissed them in favor of this shot. You gave me the explanation - this one was much calmer for the old ship from 1893.
Lines, lines everywhere. :) Also like the simple colours that constitute this photo, the wite of the structure around the ship makes it more calm. Good work.
