For the 3rd one in this series, I've depicted the VD 172 while sailing. The VD 172 is a refurbished ancient wooden fishing boat coming from Volendam, a little town in the province of North-Holland, The Netherlands, frequently visited by tourists.

Hope you'll enjoy this image. Thanks in advance for your comment.

Your ship and boats images are the best of the best. This is exceptional. I love the scene, the colors, the gorgeous cloud filled sky, and the wonderful old sail boat. My compliments, Mr. C.

Answer to the by 00Jethro (100k_xle) put forward question: the present owners have bought it for only € 1.- because it was a wreck. They were however obliged to refurbish it to its authentic state, and I can ensure you that this has cost a fortune!

This is a beautiful capture of a beautiful boat Mr.C. - I love the beautiful wooden hulls on the older vessels before the dawn of fiberglass.

I've been to Volendam and took the touristy photo of me and the Mrs. dressed in traditional clothing. So funny. It is a lovely port city and worthy of the visit. Very nice post Cornelius.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

They did a great job of restoring it and it looks very sea worthy, SEA.
A wonderful action capture.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
