Photo of the Day (01.29.08)


I've always associated maritime culture with hoards of tourists -- a sign that when I head to the shore, I tend to visit places that are far too mainstream and popular. So suffice it to say, I'm no expert on coastal communities but to me, this photo captures the essence of maritime life -- isolated, gloomy and yet still take-your-breath-away beautiful. It was taken on Holy Island (also called Lindisfarne) off the shore of Northumberland. Thanks to Our Man Where for sharing.
