I see a whole herd of boats huddled together within that semi-enclosed area when there's all of that gorgeous open water beyond the boardwalks just waiting to be enjoyed. I'm a social critter, but one of the things I like about boats is the sense of freedom and of being one with nature, (corny, but true) so the juxtaposition of the boats with a Ferris wheel gives me a feeling of disconnect, if you know what I mean.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-4272496983054370002017-10-12T11:52:59.232-07:002017-10-12T11:52:59.232-07:00I adore this photo.
