I remember that back in the day when I first got to some sites about photography, sepia was the preferred effect for many artistic photographers. In my case, this is the natural color of the sunset I photographed.
Here are a few interesting quotes about metaphors related to ships:
Don’t spend your entire life building a ship, without ever tasting the salt of the ocean.Alexander Den Heijer
If a ship is strong, the ocean’s tides do not bother it.Matshona Dhliwayo
You don’t command wind in the direction it blows, but you command a ship in the direction it sails.Matshona Dhliwayo
When all seems to be against you, remember, a ship sometimes has to sail against the current, not with it.Matshona Dhliwayo
A small boat that sails the river is better than a large ship that sinks in the sea.Matshona Dhliwayo
A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.John A. Shedd
