#PennedPossibilities 14 Aug 'antagonist unusual or advanced skills'
BlackCloud has never killed anyone. He inherited the captaincy of The Frumious Bandersnatch, and he's an excellent swordsman.
His party trick is using the tip of his rapier to cut your belt. If that doesn't make your trousers fall down, then he'll cut the waistband too.
That tells you that he could easily do you more harm!
Goodnight from Lake Ontario.

SchiffsSamstag und FotoVorschlag Thema Schifffahrt. A few years ago I went sailing with Constantia, a fork-rigged two-masted schooner, for a couple of wonderful days in the Stockholm archipelago. Pic shot from Constantia, so you don't see much of her, but she looks very similar to her sister ship which can be seen in the photo. The other ships name is Ellen and her crew is setting sails here.

""keep your gross #ships to yourself!!" is basically just "i do not feel obligated to #curate my #online #experience and go into spaces that i do not like and then #complain about it because i believe the entire #internet should #conform to my #morals and my #values. i also cannot use the #block button.""
Die Cutty Sark ist ein #Klipper, mit der einst Tee aus China und Wolle aus Australien transportiert wurde. Sie war eines der letzten – und schnellsten – #Segelschiffe, die gebaut wurden (1869). Seit 1954 ist sie ein #Museumsschiff in Greenwich. // I prefer my #ships on land, so here's the Cutty Sark in #Greenwich. I have very happy memories of this #ship, because I lived within walking distance for a time. Cutty Sark is a #clipper #ship, built in 1869 as one of the last – and fastest – sailing ships. It was used to transport tea from China and wool from Australia. Since 1954 Cutty Sark is a #museumShip in Greenwich. 
Texel is the biggest of the Netherlands' Wadden islands and attracts more than one million visitors every year. This shot was made some years ago trying to capture the idyll on this lovely island located in the North Sea.

"The Seine at Rouen," Claude Monet, 1872.
Y'all know Monet by now.
This is one of his early works in the Impressionist genre, and the source of some heartache. It was featured in the Second Impressionist Exhibition, which was pilloried by critics and audiences alike. Monet struggled to sell paintings and it took a long time for his art to be appreciated and become a success.
Monet even considered suicide at one point, he was so depressed over his lack of success. But it did come his way.
Now, this painting, which would have barely sold for $100 in today's money, now goes for six or seven figures, if not more.
From the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe.
