ABC Wednesday - S is for Sailboat



S is for Sailboat............



an old fashioned blacksmith shop at strawbery banke



This is a scan from a slide photo that was taken back in the early 1980's.

We were lucky enough to be out on the ocean on an extremely hot summer day.

You can see the haze hanging over the water as the land in the background is barely visible.

Only a few shots taken - there was no such thing as digital cameras - film and photography was an expensive hobby.

Technology has been a grand thing in many ways!



This is the fourth round of ABC Wednesday. If you would like to join in please visit this site for the details.

  3. What a very beautiful, colourful shot! Slides do seem to come out more saturated than film sometimes, don't they? I have a lot from years ago that I need to scan.

    On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)
