Backdrop pictures...Help!
« on: February 16, 2004, 08:24:51 PM »
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!

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... :-)

@blobrana

Here's a nice picture of a clipper.

Clipper

But probably not what you had in himd.

On the other hand, if this one was bigger it would be awesome.

Another clipper

Still no beach though.

This pic has two ships and some beach!!

Is this better?

You have to feel these pictures. The salty sands, the raw rain in your face while the sun shines, the plants tickling under your bare feet.

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.

Tnx, everyone!

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

I can't help you with the backdrop problem, but that's a great avatar you've got there :-D

I was thinking the other day about replacing my Jason one with an Akhenaten one when I can be bothered :-)

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...

Tall Ship 1
Tall Ship 2
Tall Ship 3
Tall Ship 4

You'll have to add the palm trees yourself.

Cheers,

Jax

A very very good time it was indeed. So if you like schooners really much. From everywhere (HUGE) schooners and other monumental ships come to the festival.
