~~Sailing Blue Mesa Resevoir~~ [Contest Finalists August 2005]
Uploaded: August 05, 2005 07:57:51
This I took while in Colorado over the 4th of July weekend. We were out on the lake & the wind was blowing pretty hard & this sail boat came by & I couldn't believe how much it was leaned over almost like it was about to flip over....So I had to take a picture of coarse:):) I thought also I would try a different category. I adjusted curves & contrast in PS7.0.
TGIF EVERYONE!!!!!:)

Boy this brings back memories. I use to sail with my father nearly every Saturday arvo in the 60's on Botany Bay, Sydney. On the strong windy days our boat would lean over like you say, we would be going so fast & we'd win the races. I'd be hanging onto the ropes for all I was worth, as well as hanging onto my Dachshund!!! Such good times we had. Thanks for entering this great picture. Keep up the good work=^..^= #2236433Alisha L. Ekstrom January 02, 2006
