I came across this magical photo and decided to share it in my Sunday post. I don’t know who to give credit to - if I find out I will link to them. Although there is a logo in the bottom right corner, it is too small and dark to read. The dreamlike composition evokes all sorts of desires. It is faerie-like and very much a fairy tale…..woodland sprites out on the water, small beings with wings, angel babies on an adventure. I can see The Owl and the Pussycat in this boat…..
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar….
This is such a beautiful photo. It took me to more of a John Waterhouse, “Lady of Shalott” kind of place…..love the bird on the bow also. Thanks for posting; it’s magic!
We all need a little magic….
and Wow, yes, I see that in the Waterhouse painting!
Interestingly, while trying to locate the origins, I discovered a number of other paintings and photos of crows perched on the bow of boats…..
It definitely has a “Pre-Raphaelite” feel to it. I love the mystery and the light shining in the darkness.
Thanks, it is magic
Looks to me more like The Crow and – perhaps a fish that may have caught the crow’s gaze! – that said, a lovely photo that inspires reverie. I have always loved the poem The Owl and the Pussycat – the simple rhyme – and it’s innocence. Thanks for bringing it to the fore! ox
