Stern Fortune



A waft into the whirlwind, vesselled within a thin, wobbly film; unanchored, unmoored.

Unwittingly drifting towards a prow, where all flanks knot into a dire fate. Beheaded and all at sea; lying ahull, until inescapably becoming aground.

On the wharf, a long legged steward waits for the uncomplaining passengers to disembark.

Over a Grim Panorama

Lake Chapala's capricious shore
This is, I'd say a post-sunset panoramic picture of Lake Chapala. It is probably the most frequented leisure destinations by the inhabitants of the city I live. In the recent years the lake-shore has been coming and going, this picture was taken from the pier and you can see that the water is a little far in, but not the nearly the worst it has been. You can get an idea of how bad it was some fifteen years ago in this article by Tony Burton, it certainly was dying (I hadn't realized how hard it was to find anything informative in the net nowadays outside Wikipedia). Today the lake is in an OK water level, though the same can not be said about the pollution.

The panorama was stitched together using one of the greatest open source tools ever made; Hugin Panorma Photo Stitcher. Very versatile and powerful, at least for amateurish purposes.
