Sorted
Quite gutted I didn't get to enter this month. Had some really good places in mind, but my camera is knackered and still waiting on a new one to arrive in stock.

Re: Photo of the Month - May 2017 - Voting
Considering the [so far] winning entry, "theme" is moot. I guess it's a result of the English language being a "work in progress"

Re: Photo of the Month - May 2017 - Voting
I'm inclined to vote for Transportman, simply in hopes of the best possible theme for next month. (you don't want me to pick the theme... trust me )

Re: Photo of the Month - May 2017 - Voting
While we're waiting for the new POTM thread, I can provide a little sneak peek about the theme that YNM and I have agreed on:
In general terms, [it] is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. The western boundary with Europe is a historical and cultural construct, as there is no clear physical and geographical separation between them. The most commonly accepted boundaries place [it] to the east of the Suez Canal, the Ural River, and the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas.

Re: Photo of the Month - May 2017 - Voting
I completely didn't expect to win My image was blurry and smothered out, thanks to softwares and the whole thing being a pretty old device... Actually voted for Voyager One ! Interesting ship that, is it being made into a monument or something ?

Re: Photo of the Month - May 2017 - Voting
She is a Russian-built hydrofoil, built in the 70s-80s if I'm not mistaken. She was simply left to rot there on the pier after the owner company went bankrupt in the 90s. Interestingly, this picture was taken a year or two ago and I happened to pass there last week and she was gone after 20+ years! I have no idea where have they put her, I guess she was finally sent to a scrapyard...YNM wrote: Interesting ship that, is it being made into a monument or something ?
Re: Photo of the Month - May 2017 - Voting
Should've been made a nice feature in the harbour... or some parks... I'm mostly baffled on the trusses below, those are not part of the ship I presume ?Voyager One wrote:Interestingly, this picture was taken a year or two ago and I happened to pass there last week and she was gone after 20+ years!

Yes they are. Those are her "wings" on which she goes about waterline. See below an example of a more modern hydrofoil, the wings are more visible here...YNM wrote:I'm mostly baffled on the trusses below, those are not part of the ship I presume ?
