Cold Winter Sailing - Image taken in Blake Passage by Atlan Bade

Submit your best SL Sailing images to slsailingassociation.blogspot.com/p/featured-pictures.html and become a Featured Image artist at Seccond Life Sailing Association.

From the inworld announcement: 
Atlan gives us this cool (that is to say cold) sailing shot. It sort of gets under your parka and reminds you that, surely Spring must be coming soon. Why not warm up the scene by posting warm greetings to all for the new year. Just go down to comments, click on it and tell us what you plan for New Year's eve (RL or SL)

Robert Redford in ALL IS LOST at Newport Bay
Image by Maiko Taurot (Waypoint Yacht Club)

Today's Featured Picture is made up of two images. When you look at these two images separately without paying attention to what Maiko Taurot is doing they do not stand our as outstanding pictures in the same sense as Maiko's Feature Picture - November 3, 2014 does. However when you look at the photo insert in each of the two pictures and see what Maiko is doing, they take on a pretty amazing nature.

Maiko uses the limited resources of SL to create a dramatic image of a real life situation of two RL photos of nautical scenes. Compare the RL photo with the SL recreation. When I do this I am impressed with the amount of work Maiko had to do to create the scenes.

These images remind me of a spectacular art event that is staged each summer near where I live. check out the video that displays the breathtaking "living pictures" from the Pageant of Masters every summer as part of the Festival of Arts of Laguna Beach . If this 'living pictures" pageant interests you here is another video.  I think a great deal of fun can be hand by reproducing RL nautical imagery in SL. Hope to see more of this from our SL artists and photographers.
