Photohunt - nautical

This week's theme for TNCHICK's is Nautical. I have loads of nautical pictures, but picked this one, which is one of my many favourites.

The photo is taken on board a Thames Barge, named Lady Daphne. In July of 2007, my sister-in-law came over from Texas. She hadn't visited for a very long time and was only able to stay for a few days.

It so happened that we had an invitation to go sailing on Lady Daphne during her time here. The trip set out from London Bridge and the owner had arranged for Tower Bridge to be opened for us, as we set sail for the Docklands. What an evening. I do see the bridge open every now and again, but I'd never sailed through it when opened before. :)

Are you Photohunting this week? I look forward to seeing your nautical pictures.

Thank you both. I think "nautical" may just be my favourite theme as water = great pictures. :)

Thanks Robin - it's an angel I use quite a lot, as I love photographing things against the sky. :)
