Seeing the future

Allegory on a photograph:  We advance seeing dimly our destination but tending day by day to what we can do about it (operating the ship).   There's a seagull in the photo.  This is imagination going on ahead, getting to see a little farther a little sooner.

September 8th  Ferry from Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen
The seagull is left and down a bit from
 the projection at the side of the vessel.
