Another shot from our visit to Mystic Seaport back in May, we decided to stop there for a break and am glad we did, it was such a cool place to stroll around with so much to see, will go back some other time to spend more time there
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Was away for a while but finally back
Other shots are posted on my flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/tattoodjay/
IF you see yourself in any of my people on the street shots and want it to be removed please contact me and I will remove it straight away
Beautiful building. I love the white figure over the window. Mystic looks beautiful. Many movies made there for a reason.

A wonderful capture.
I like the textures and tones!

Curious curious place and decoration on the facade of wood! A figurehead of a ship may ripped off! Excellent contrast! Look carefully to see what else you find!

Wonderful quiet image here, with a hint of a sailboat off to the left. Did you see the Charles W. Morgan? Our children got to go aboard when they were young, and the 'sailors' sang old sea shanties; great memories!

@Judy: Yes we saw it, but didnt explore it to much as we just had a breif stop there, but plan to get back there with more time at some stage in the future
Un endroit spécial ... superbe !)
Et de belles textures. j'aime .

Lovely colors. Yet I'd be interested in seeing it in monochrome.
7 Jul 2010 12:15pm
definitely feels like an old building. love all the barrels in front of it
7 Jul 2010 2:52pm
A great idea to go back one day because i think there is some intresting close-up to do with these big old barrels in the foreground... :-)

I like your series of Mystic Seaport. My visit there was about 20 years ago.....

Hi JJ - I really like this one- very nice perspective and image. My sister and her late husband used to live in Mystic and every year they would volunteer to dress up as a sea captain and his wife for the Mystic Seaport - some big deal they would have every year...anyway nice job here JJ - Thank you for sharing this with us! - Denny

Good evening, JJ,
sorry, unfortunately I missed the connection. The other pictures I looked at it. All are very interesting, especially the colorful whale. Today's picture is also a very interesting discovery. It is a pity that some things are forgotten and rotting. I try to follow the series again. Sometimes it does not work out in time. Have a nice evening and all the best. Thanks for all your nice comments. Sincerely Christel

Nice, JJ - I can sure appreciate why you like it here - image opportunities abound!

Haven't seen old barrels like those for a long time.
7 Jul 2010 9:03pm
I love the ships mascot, I take it that it was a copy, but yet it adds to the very old and well used shed. Great photo, beautiful bright light.
7 Jul 2010 9:36pm
Super shot of this 'mystic' building. It's been standing a long time. The barrels are beautifully arranged to make a great composition. :))
7 Jul 2010 10:12pm
like the figure head on the barn, well worn down place but with character
7 Jul 2010 10:16pm
A picturesque old building. I like that prow ornament.
7 Jul 2010 11:04pm
What a great find JJ......and i just love that figurehead hanging there!!! Most incongruous......makes for a superb image!!!!
7 Jul 2010 11:32pm
Mystic Seaport, you have me interested in this place!
8 Jul 2010 1:27am
A very nice and beautiful image. Truly an excellent composition. I really like the colors !
8 Jul 2010 3:42am
Fonts got it right. Reminds me of an old ship's head fixture. And the hint of the open door inviting us in....
8 Jul 2010 3:50am
Great composition JJ. I love the light in this photo!!
