Don't ask me - I just took the picture. We were out strolling with friends when we came across these cute little boats. It was obvious that they were closely tied.
The bottom boat was a little water-logged, so maybe the ingenious owner tied the other boat on top to flip it over rather than empty it out with a bucket. Well, it was New Year's Eve ...
Celebrate the New Year by visiting Hey Harriet's Shadow Shot Sunday - you won't be disappointed. And may all your ships sail smoothly through the waters of 2010.

It is actually a great angle!

Cool photo and it does make one wonder what the deal was with the boats. The blues and greens are pretty.
very nice photo, seeing the boats tied together like that did make me smile!
Interesting and beautiful image. Love it. Thanks for sharing
That does seem a strange sight. I'm sure you will enjoy New Zealand and it is a much shorter journey for you than for those of us in the US.
I've not been to Austrailia but I suspect New Zealand is a bit different; I imagine, though, that the people in Austrailia are just as welcoming as those in New Zealand.
That's a beautiful shadow shot!
The boat as a cover to keep the water out of the other boat. A bit odd, but what fun is boating if you spend all your time baling out the excess water. At least the 'ships' can be handled by one person...
Piggybacked boats--what a capture! The colors and shadows are so rich. It would be a beautiful piece of wall art, I think! I enjoyed reading about your Christmas celebrations--wish my DH and I could find a quaint cottage like that! Happy new year! Jane in St Louis
Not something you see every day. I really like it! Sometimes shadows shooting opportunities show up unexpectedly.
So interesting ~ one can only imagine :)
Thank you for stopping by my place and leaving your comment!

What a great shot. Terrific.

Closely tied....hehehe! Very pretty sheen on that water with the boats sitting on top like that! ...and you visited Sydney? Hope the weather wasn't too terrible for you - we've had a bit of rain of late!
Now that's an odd sight! I'd like to see a tower of little boats all stacked up on top of each other now. A fun find! Wouldn't ya know it? Perfectly fine weather now that I have to go back to work...grumble grumble. I have to admit that I did find the rain quite nice. The cooler temps were a big relief :)
Hi there thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog...yes the curtains are appliqued, we found them in a little antique shop, not sure whether or not they are authentic but who cares they are gorgeous....love your boat shadows...have a nice week..enjoy xx
Most interesting! Perhaps the owners are expecting a happy event - the birth of twin dinghies maybe?
I'm sure there is a great story behind this find! Interesting perspective!
Closely tied - heehe!!! Lovely shot though!

LOL it must be true love! Great find! Makes me long for better weather after all this snow we are having here! Maybe this real winter we're having is promissing for the SPRING and SUMMER that are coming!
Boys and their toys, sometimes you can never figure out the logic...but a fun shot regardless...what were they thinking???
Hope you're enjoying your summer heat, you can see what we're dealing with for the next 3 months...YUCK!!!
I love this photo - not just for shadows/reflections, but just the fun!!
This is a great shadow shot. Love it!

Curious and curiouser...it makes for a fascinating photo composition and I love the colors.
