dutchtilt, the picture is tilted slightly clockwise, about twenty degrees, so the horizon runs from the upper left down to the lower right and the verticals lean to the right, a photograph of a blue steel fishing trawler climbing the face of a huge grey wave in a night storm, seen from sea level a short way off, bow pointing up at the crest, white spray bursting over the wheelhouse, its straight mast and rigging dark against the sky, deck floodlights burning, rain streaking across the frame, a straight dark sea horizon behind. Scale: the wave stands three times higher than the wheelhouse. Depth: one trawler only, drawn once, the crest foam passes in front of its bow rail.
