Backdrop pictures...Help!

[blobrana]

Ok,
i want to have a nice backdrop picture...

One with a `clipper` in full-sail off a golden beach (with perhaps a nice island and palm trees there as well)
Found an interesting link though.

No luck, i`ll have to make one...Unless any one has a link for me...

No
No
No
No!

A backdrop with a sailing ship , with full sails sailing to-wards you... off a golden beach, palm trees ,
like i saw out my window once...

No offence to your pictures , but
They weren`t up to my rigorous standards... :-)

Hum,
 i`ve searched 2.2 billion websites and i still can`t find one!

Why is the internet so small?

Not much to ask for, and i don`t want to go and hire a tall-ship to sail past some deserted tropical island, just so i can have a measly (albeit a nice) backdrop....


Huh.

[blobrana]

Sorted!

A quick bit of paint package stuff and i managed to cut & paste a couple of pictures together....


Tnx, everyone!

But,
If you do happen across one 800 x 600 pict then remember me... :-)

Damn fine Ship that!

I did manage to hunt that one down, as well as the `california` and various Russian tall ships...

The total tonnage must have been several thousand tonnes in total...

 
And here`s your well deserved pint...  :pint:

Yea, that `Delfsail` link was good.

Managed to grab that pic at the top left.


Barks and sloops just don`t have that majestic quality (or displacement).


A good time was had by all, it looks to me...
