A Bit of Reverie
« on: October 03, 2020, 04:45:26 pm »
I find myself now regularly resting my eyes, and easing my mind, upon the image of the "S.S. Christiaan Brunings" as depicted in the Engine of the Month posting currently on display. What a wonderfully soul soothing scene to gaze in wonder upon!

Thank you Raphael, for sharing this with us!!!

Stoker, you are right, the picture is great. I love the duck giving a "side-eye" to the passing ship.

Or..... is the duck pointing the way to safe passage for the captain?


A wonderful scene captured and preserved for all to enjoy.


Again.... very well done, Raphael..!!
