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?
