The Tall Ships are on their way to Portsmouth, NH and will be arriving in full sail Friday morning (that's tomorrow for those of you who don't know what day it is) for a parade up through Portsmouth Harbor. I may be one of 20,000 people (heaven help me) jockeying for a position to view and photograph the spectacle. We shall see.
The Kalmar Nyckel arrived yesterday morning but unfortunately this is pretty much as close as anyone can get to viewing the ship for now.

When we lived in the Shetland Isles I loved it when the tall ships would come in. John would call me and tell me to get the bus to Lerwick and bring the camera. (I didn't drive when we lived there.) Wonderful memories. Hope you get some really good shots.

First visit to your blog, great photo's and wonderful insights. I'll be coming back especially looking forward to the Tall Ships, they should be quite nice.
Okay Sharon, we're expecting some more good work from you!
OH MY GOSH....this picture is breathtaking! I sure hope you go to see them and get a good spot. Because I can't wait to see the photos!!!
Pretty darn exciting!

xxxooo
Let me know if you spy Captain Jack Sparrow and The Black Pearl there! I'm waiting for more pics, too. They are so majestic! Lucky you to be in the middle of it all!
We'll look forward to seeing your photos. What you posted are outstanding.
Happy Friday.
Rigging, take rigging photos. How I love the look of lines that appear tangled and yet all in their proper place. Sails, take photos of sails as they diffuse other focal points. Oh, I'm drooling with possible photos ops. I will live vicariously through your lens. Sea Witch
Awesome! I look forward to more more..
I am here finally catching up with your blog...
see u on the next post below :)
My gosh you all have great expectations of me! LOL!
I'll do the best I can but shooting into the morning sun may be a bit tricky. I also have a specific place I'd like to shoot from but who knows, a hundred other people may be thinking the same thing. It will be an early morning I know that. The tall ship parade begins at 9:00 but I plan on being there almost 2 hours early. Yikes!

WOW! Those masts look awesome. I don't know how those ropes aren't a tangled mess.

OK Sharon,great photos as they are but I'm giving you a mission....buy a boat! Even if it's a row boat you gotta get on the water!
I can't wait to see what spectacular photos you'll capture of the ships!
Oh, how fun! Can't wait to see the images you get Sharon. :c)
You will have the time of your life once they pass you. They are the most beautiful ships there are.We did see that parade once. Hopefully there is enough wind for them to sail
You have such a good eye and take such beautiful photographs. The tall ships came to my harbour a couple of years ago. I didn't go to see them though....just couldn't do the crowd thing. Pretty striking with all the rigging! I really like the last shot of the masts peeking up above the greenery.
Jockey well, Sharon.... fight your way into the crowd with an elbow jab.... LMAO... awww, come on. You know I'm just kidding.....
