Description

Physical Description:

A large ship sail against a cloud-filled sky in Kenya. The angle from which the photograph was taken creates a triangular shape to the sail. From the top corner to the left edge of the photo is a rope, and on the right side of the sail is a small black figure protruding from behind the cloth, possibly the top of the mast to which the sail is connected.
