Ondine

Since I am sick- I'm watching lots of movies.  I found a nice random Ondine, which is a story about a Selkie.  A Selkie is a Scottish/Irish mythical creature.  A female seal who can shed her seal pelt and live on land.  If she buries her pelt, she can stay on land for seven years with her land lad.  I've always loved stories about mermaids and selkies, really just the idea of being able to breathe under water... This casting is great in the movie. 

 

 I love this brown knitted dress Ondine is fished out of water in.  It's a little tattered at the bottom but it's beautiful!  I couldn't find any photos of the wedding dress she worn but if you see the movie- it's equally as beautiful.  Read the interview of Alicja Bachleda, the actress playing Ondine here.

Ondine has also been performed on stage as a ballet- I love this poster of one such ballet- underwater Selkie <3

Victory Chimes- Rockland, Maine

This past summer I was lucky enough to sail aboard the Victory Chimes- America's Windjammer- off the coast of Maine.  I'll be posting more pictures along the way.  Here are some of my favorite morning shots.  These were all taken from the deck of the Victory Chimes of a neighboring boat.  it's about 5:30am and the last picture you can see the sun breaking through the clouds. 

what a dream
