Description
“Servants to the wind and the sea,Builders of great sea monsters,
Yet they’ve never sailed away
To see where dark clouds go.
Yet off in the horizon,
Where the sunset meets the shore,
That’s where their souls are longing to go
In hopes of so much more.
Their faith now long forgotten
In the toil of this harsh land,
Their dreams lay lost and buried
Under the rocks and sand.
Their fathers, their fathers, their fathers,
Their fathers, their fathers, their fathers.
The cool breeze mocks the men below,
Singing of places they’ll never know.
A harsh wind carries away their tears
As the salty air wears away the years.
Yet off into the horizon,
Where the sunset meets the shore
That’s where their souls are longing to go
In hopes of so much more.
Their faith now long forgotten
In the toil of this harsh land,
Their dreams lay lost and buried
Under the rocks and sand.”
[ The Shipbuilder’s Son – Oceans of Slumber ]
Although I do like this photo, I have to admit it didn’t unfortunately quite capture the magnificence of the scene there: the mist engulfing the sea provided a neutral backdrop that made the myriad of buoys off the coas of Duino, Italy, stand out, making the whole thing look quite eerie, like a sort of marine graveyard. In hindsight I should have used my telephotolens, but the drizzle made me go with what I had mounted on my camera and this is what came out. Not as impressive as what you could see there, but I still like the overal mood.
