This is one of my finest images, capturing the eye and soul with its brilliant blue ocean scene. One of 18 prints from the “Israel Unveiled” collection, this image was on display at the 2008 “Nature’s Best” Photography Windland Smith Rice “OCEAN VIEWS” Exhibitionat the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. “As I hiked Israel’s coastline, I saw something in the distance that looked like metal rising fom the sand. As I approached, I was surprised to see what I later learned was a Turkish freight from the late 1800’s that had found this shore as its final mooring. For more than 100 years, it has rested on this coast, returning to the sea bit-by-rusty-bit.” “What I loved about this moment was imagining the mystery cargos hidden In the hollow holds of this old traveler. There is a story here for everyone who lays eyes upon the ruins - a tale of a journey with a less than perfect ending.”
