Former title was The Earth is Flat, but I'm dropping a hint with the new one.

Is it the song "Nantucket Sleighride" by Mountain?

An amazing view with that flat sea!

Sorry, Peter; the song is sea themed right down to its title.

I can only think of "Nantucket's girl" maybe there is a girl on the boat?

Beautiful photo Craig, I like the color palette, it's wonderful.

Boy, Lorna, you really know your music!

I love this shot, Craig. And the original title is excellent, too. The glow on the water is awesome!

Great song Craig. One I this missed from Billy Joel. Reminds me of the east coast from NJ to ME. I like photographing the lobster boats in Maine near our place in Boothbay, Maine. Tough life for for sure being a fisherman.

Craig you hit a cord with this one , I have had a touch of home sickness since and this one ringing in my ears day and night. Thought you might like to hear it for yourself !!!! A little pay back I think

!!!! Cheers

Lorna,

Thanks for the link. I was already a fan of the song, but the video that went with it was very cool.

This shot still makes me think of home Craig, in two days time after a 14 hour flight and a 4 hour drive (ugh) I will be there sitting on the front porch staring at the Atlantic and thinking of you, this image and the music video. I only hope I get lucky enough to get some shots worth sharing !! Cheers
