Overdue photografia

3053
Here are a few photographs, none of which are that significant, but given that I have yet to take one picture since I left Florida, I'm lucky to have these. Come to that, I don't even think I took any in Florida. Considering the vast archive of photography I took last year, apparently I'm having a backlash. Anyway, the first photo is Diversity, which I believe is an old, old wooden ship used during the civil war...
Actually, it's the Vasa, in the museum which bears its name in Stockholm. It's an immense warship that went down in the harbor in the early 1600s and was preserved by the brackish waters here, only to be raised a few decades ago and painstakingly restored and made to be the centerpiece of this amazing place of archeological and anthropological ...something or other. Heh.
Next is... Jamie and I, enjoying our "gentleman's drink" as we do each week after the Captain's Welcome before the Classical show. A glass of port in the Horizon Lounge and witty banter that makes us fall out of our chairs laughing but would likely annoy or confound nearly anyone else to tears. Most of you (that I know of) who are reading this would probably chime right in.
And finally, a picture that feels like it was taken years ago, but was in fact only taken in June. This is me and three people without whom I may well have long ago jumped overboard. Sup, Christina, and Jamie. "And then there were four."
We found this picture while compiling all of our photos and, well...It seems we were all so much younger then. Actually, I just realized that three of us have had birthdays since this was taken, and Jamie's about to have one, so we WERE younger then. This was at some random bar in Orlando.
So, that's what I have. I don't know if I'll ever get out my camera; I'm not hugely motivated to do so, but maybe when we hit the British Isles. See previous entry.
