Quotes of the day
I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conlusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleages, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives. ~ Leo Tolstoy

I took the photo during an Atlantic crossing. Using a Photoshop filter I turned the picture into an oil painting, of shorts. However, I remember taking the photo and thinking of the phrase, ‘Rearranging the Chairs on the Titanic’, which I used numerous times. It’s hard not to think of it when you are in the middle of the North Atlantic and cruising near where the RMS Titanic sank on 15 April 1912. This tragedy resulted in the deaths of up to 1,635 people, making it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. The Titanic was the largest ocean liner in service at the time; and yet it would have been dwarfed by the ship we were on, the Queen Mary II.
