Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Tilted.
Here’s a photo of me sailing my kayak through New York Harbor—that’s the Empire State Building in the distance—back in 2007. The camera, set to take a photo automatically every 10 minutes, was mounted on the outrigger arm, but evidently not very firmly: it started rotating round it, so that when I got home, I found I had photos tilted at all angles, even some upside down…
More about my kayak sailing adventures can be found here, here, and here.
It must have been a lot of fun going through that set of images! This is a great one for the theme.

I remember going through them as being a bit tedious, actually. They are showed me, just tilted at different angles ;-)

I can imagine. Look, there I am. Oh, me again, only sideways. Me. Upside down. Sigh …

You can see some of the less repetitive images from the series here. Gives you an idea of how boring the rest of them were :-)

So much fun – no use being angry I guess! Perfect for the theme!

I wasn’t at all angry—some variety in the photos made them much more interesting! :-)

Now this challenge was meant for that day – or visa versa. ;-)

I like to think that day was meant for this challenge—much more mysterious that way round ;-)

It’s a great shot of you, even if it tilted. I’m glad you shared it (and can have a sense of humor about it).

Not for me Tilting into deep water terrifies me!! If I got into a Kayak it would be an a life changer for me…..it is on my list however.. only with an instructor or expert and a LIFE JACKET !! : )

Well, that’s definitely the right way to begin… but you will soon be sucked into it! ;-)

You’re not tilted. Manhattan Island is heeling, that’s all.

That’s the true nautical spirit!! (And it sometimes does seem that way, especially after a night on the town :-)
