SS Great Britain - Vertical Thematic Photography

Over the next week Carmi has chosen Vertical as his theme. It seemed to me that some shots I took earlier this year of Brunel's famous ship the SS Great Britain  would fit it perfectly.

SS Great Britain - abandoned in the Falklands.
This is a 'photo of a photo' in the exhibition aboard the ship as it lies in the Bristol dry dock today. It shows the condition of the ship before it was returned to its home port and restored.

The full glory of those vertical masts can be seen in this picture taken at the Historic Quay that houses the ship and the exhibition.

I've managed to maintain the verticals by including the quayside railings in this shot of the stern of the ship in all its splendour.



The first class dining room looks resplendent with its shining pillars.

Finally for this week the photographer was horizontal,on his back, to capture a worm's eye view of a mast.


I hope you liked this vertical tour. Check out more at Carmi's thematic photographic 152
