From Tasmania Series 2
Built in 1995 by volunteers, this brigantine gives training to people of all ages, and assistance through its Trust to young people. Captured here on the Derwent River, Hobart, Tasmania.

Interesting shot with an interesting blurb....I like the way the background is all misted up, bringing the subject out a lot more.
I do find the ship on the right a little distracting though - crop it or clone it out maybe? And it would be fascinating to see the entire ship - all the way to the top!
Nice shot anyway! :)

Magnifique bateau. Construit en 1995 ! Ça prouve qu'on est encore capable de faire des belles choses.

It's nice to know they still value ships like this to build and sail them. Nice photo.
