I ensure you that this Manic Monday picture isn't a manip. I agree however that the title might be somewhat misleading. What you see is a kind of 'optical illusion'. The boats are sailing trough a branch of the Lake of Veere, Zeeland, The Netherlands. Because of the high grown rapeseed the water of the lake can't be seen now.

They are light boats. They are being carried each by two tough sailors on their shoulders through the field to another lake. :) Nice one with this illusion Cornelius. Lovely colours and sky.

You find the most amazing scenes, Mr. C. Love the sails sticking above the rapeseed field, and the steeple and church sticking above the trees in the distance. The sky is something to be proud of too.

I realise that they are sailing on a lake but inside I really want to believe that they have discovered weightlessness and are sailing on top of the oilseed rape!

It does look like the field is full of sailboats SEA.
A great eye to spot this optical confusion. :)

wonderful optical illusion here Mr. C. - I like the building also way in the background with the dome.

The image scene does give an optical illusion. Almost like they are sailing in an emerald sea sprinkled with gold. Wonderful Manic Monday post, Mr. C.

They do indeed appear to be sailing in a sea of green...unusual composition and good one for MM.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

Now this is a unique perspective, as if the ships found themselves grounded in a glorious sea of gold!!
