Pithy and Forthright: Unsinkable

Visited the Titanic Museum this morning. Enjoyed it. Saw Charlie for the first time although the art piece has been there all the time. That freaks me out when I notice something and it's NOT new.

The exterior is so innovative hard not to keep looking for another angle to shoot.

As the weather changes and the sun appears, the beauty is reflected in the structure

That is a reflection in the water element that surrounds the museum.

They have to know

Irish immigrants arriving at Ellis Island

Remember the big yellow cranes Sampson and Goliath from an earlier post about the view from the guestroom window? Same company that help build the ship, Harland and Wolff..

Where the ship was designed

The workers

Bending the frames

Huge

There's a movie theatre where they project images taken from one of the submersibles visits. Shoes are seen on the sea floor. Eerie!

From here sauntered back to the apartment to ride with Scott out to the animal sanctuary where he volunteers. Might heart is still broken seeing all the dogs, rabbits, cats either abandoned or turned in. Disturb to have seen two brought in today. One a black lab who had been with a family since he was a puppy.

Another a beagle mix who was distressed and shaking. Both sweet, sweet demeanors. It's a no kill shelter thank gawd but why give up your pet who is part of your family. I shall never understand. It's cold tonight, those dogs are outside, alone. They'll have blankets and will be in covered spaces but what are they thinking? Why am I here? What did I do?

I did spend over an hour walking a nice border collie named Buster. This fella wanted to run and took some control to walk as he wanted to pull you and wouldn't sit when asked. However, a very sweet face and demeanor. Another dog owned as a puppy, family dog, given up. Whoever had him didn't mistreat him but never leash trained him either.
