Dancing Jib Sheet - Fine Art Nature & Landscape Photography Inspirational Prophetic Images by Josiah Christian Friberg

I am a sailor and have always loved sailboats, wind, the ocean, and rope. When I saw this dancing red jib sheet (rope) on the deck of a U.C.I. Shields, I decided to photograph it. It speaks to me of the fun us sailors have when we're out dancing with the wind. Every time we go out sailing, it's fun and it's a differently choreographed danced.

Secured at Dock - Fine Art Nature & Landscape Photography Inspirational Prophetic Images by Josiah Christian Friberg

"Hope is the anchor of the soul."

I am a sailor and have always loved sailboats, wind, the ocean, and rope. My father first took me sailing when I was about 6 years old, and I can still remember the thrill of sailing in Quincy Harbor with him. I recently visited Newport Beach, CA, where I used to sail and race about 15 years ago. There's a special feeling every time I walk down onto the docks and see the sailboats and feel the wind blowing through my hair. When I saw this neatly coiled rope on the dock next to a Shields, I just knew I had to capture it with my camera. It speaks to me of having secure mourings in my life to keep me from drifting away from God and family and my purpose. It also speaks to me of the value of organization and neatness, which are so important on board a ship or sailboat, and are equally important in one's life.
