Freedom and Empowerment

My last morning at the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend found me in one of my favorite places…

A boatyard!

Whatever it is about them, they still call my name and lure me in. Even amid a beautiful sunrise and spectacular wooden boats gleaming in the early morning glow, a dusty boatyard is my paradise.

As I walked around the towering boats looking for inspiration, I “found” this interesting image.

When I first saw the textures and shapes created by the boat’s layers of paint weathered by time and the environment, I saw a woman.

On closer look I saw women.

Walking together.

Strong, colorful, and standing tall.

There is a sense of freedom and empowerment in the image and the story it tells me.

What do you see?
