Come Sail Away

Description

I took this picture last October in Blackpool. It was far too windy and the waves were crashing up onto the promenade, soaking me and anyone that came close.

How can I claim credit for this though? I took the picture but it was the sun that was so bright, the waves that were so dark and violent (they were, trust me, I was nearly blown off the pier). But its a good picture and I like it.

Reminds me of that song, you know the one by Styx? lol

I'm Sailing away, Setting Open Course for the virgin seas
Cause I've got to be free, Free to face the light, that's ahead of me
On board I'm the Captain, So Climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow, on every shore
But I'll try, Oh Lord, i'll try, to carry on.

I look to the seas
Reflections in the wave spark my memory
Some Happy, Some Sad
I think of Childhood friends, and the dreams we had
We lived happy forever, so that story goes
But somehow we missed out, on the Pot of Gold
But we'll try, best that we can, To carry on...

Lyrics owned by Styx. The picture is mine. Blackpool is not (thank God! It's so tacky there!)

LOL Great shot!! Unfortunately, that song was all but completely wrecked by Cartman. I'm a huge Styx fan, but can't hear that song without thinking of cheesy poofs.

Try this one out from Colin Hay....

Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down down down, on me

I'm waiting for MY real life to begin.
