Thought I would give you a better perspective of my night capture of these fine ships. These are replicas of the smaller vessels that sailed with the Santa Maria on the journey to America by Christopher Columbus. Just imagine the tight quarters and the trials at sea. In 1492, Columbus sailed from Spain with three ships. Two of the ships, the Niņa and the Pinta were small caravels. The third ship, the Santa Maria, was a larger type of ship, a carrack, and was captained by Columbus. The ships were from 15 to 36 meters long.

Deja vu or a dream or a fairy tale... Or all of those in one.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
