ship
His story her story history
Memories forgotten fables and tall tales
Stones standing tall full of mystery
Ships lost to watery graves
So many lives lost and so few saved
The sea sings its song
Sometimes a whisper
But more often loud and strong.
So much left behind
Stories untold
His story her story history
The sea sings their song

Once again mesmerizing images Gary .
Gary, these are wonderful…there’s all about the sea in your images and words. All its strenght and power to fascinate and to destroy.
We’re looking forward to posting some collaborative work of Diane and Gary on aamora soon!
Someone above mentioned they expected to see this work in monocromatic tones..but not when your looking at Gary’s work..expect to be overwelmed with his incredible sense of color and POV..you won’t be disappointed! and he can write! talented man! No wonder I enjoy collaborations with him..
Wonderful imagery evoking powerful feelings, as the sea often does. Your poem is lovely and sad. Beautiful work.
I must admit that these color shots has surprised me. I was waiting for black and white photos, with rocks and castles, with desolate fields, with rusty cars. And good, pleasant surprise!!!! these photos are marvelous. Congratulations!
Gary this is just wonderful. You’ve bottled the wild soul of the sea in these images..
nice work gary
Outstanding work as usual Gary.

OK, OK, OK, I’ll stop now. J. Harvey hates it when I write this drivel.
