I visited the Wharfice for the first time this past Thursday with the rest of Yeller and, of course, I neglected to bring a camera. I returned to the spot late Sunday afternoon in order to capture the wharf’s unique atmosphere on film.

I went to the downtown Public Library today to check out some nautical books. After using their catalog, I noticed that all of the call numbers were in the science and industry section–previously uncharted territory for me, who typically roams the fiction, music, or Navajo art areas. Yet, my cross over to science paid off, as I came away with some real beauties. From How to Read Nautical charts to The Submarines of the World, here are some nice pages from some of these inspiring books.

From Ocean: The World's Last Wilderness Revealed

From The Old Man and the Sea

From Submarines of the World

From The World's Great Explorers: Jacques Cousteau

Have been thinking about the ocean and it’s a pretty big thing, and also it’s very large in addition to being huge. If you think about it (and I have been thinking about it) the ocean is down right frightening. So I’ve been looking into getting a sweet dive helmet. Yeah. Photos after the jump. Sketches to come.
