Cement Ship*

Built in 1917 as an experimental ship design (because of a wartime shortage of iron),
the cement ship was bought by an amusement company in 1930. The engines were removed,
and it was towed to Seacliff beach in California to be used as a restauraunt and tourist attraction.
After a heavy storm cracked the ship in half, it was closed for safety reasons.

My family has been spending summers at seacliff beach for the last several decades,
and we have great memories of fishing off the pier (as well as watching the ship slowly return to nature).

Concrete. Cement is a "glue".
This is a ship made from concrete.
Sand, rocks, water and cement make concrete.

I like it and I do think it looks tilted. Nice job! ~ Lonnit

Thanks Phil. I actually revised both images based on a comment Oleg made on my other entry. I was trying for the effect that Karthik acheived with his 'steps to nowhere' - to make the formerly inclined portion of the image (stairs/pier) horizontal. (making the people on the beach lean about 20 degrees to the right). -John

I see what you have done, but now without the horizon as a reference, the image doesn't look tilted at all - I think many of us would have framed it this way by default to keep the pier horizontal. Phil
