March skies ... Sunset on St Patrick's Day ...
Ever have a sunset that keeps calling you back for more photos? This was one ...
Linking up today with Skywatch Friday -- Recommended site for sky photos. Thanks to the Skywatch hosts!
In Port This Week ... The Golden Daisy
In our new location we are not too far from the Port of Seattle's Grain Terminal 86. Grain trains from the mid-west bring grain to this facility where it is passed on to ships for delivery to Asian countries. The ship you see here, the Golden Daisy, is called a "bulk carrier" ... it takes about 1 day to load the ship which is rated for about 15,000 tons. If you are really interested in Ocean Shipping, like John is, you can follow Golden Daisy's trip to its destination in Shanghai, China, on a website called VesselFinder.com.
Thank you for stopping by John's Island.
It is beyond belief how they keep these afloat with so much weight. Beautiful sunset, and I love the card.
