**Selected as a finalist in Photography Forum's Photo Contest and will appear in their "Best Photography of 2012". Moon in the Sails ~ The almost-full moon rose during the sail, and made a great contrast against the ship's sails.
Battle At Sea ~ Two ships come together and clash with the booms of the cannons. (No one was harmed in the making of this photograph!)
~ Loud booms of the cannon, cannon smoke, the battle wages between American Pride and Spirit of Dana Point, two of the tall ships at the festival.
