Tall ship off Elizabeth Bay, Isabela Island, The Galapagos, Ecuador, 2012

It was very late in the afternoon, and storm clouds were moving in on Isabela Island. The colors of the sea, the sky, and the clouds were striking, punctuated by the tall masts of a sailing ship anchored in the distance, the focal point of this image. The small clumps of vegetation and rocky outcroppings, along with the horizon itself, echo the horizontal thrust of the lower clouds to tie the image together.

I often will try to relate subjects in the foreground of an image to other subject matter expressing the point of the picture. That is what I've done here -- thanks for noticing, Tim.

The small clumps also echo the masts of the ship. This image could be used in the brochure for the tall ships - it makes me want to be there.
