Man cannot discover new oceans
unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

• Courage quote: André Gide (1869-1951), French author and Nobelist. This quote is very fitting for anyone who’s thinking about venturing into the unknown: no matter how safe you might feel in the harbor, you can’t discover new oceans unless you’re ready to leave the safe and familiar behind you. Actually, you probably did this as a child because you can’t truly learn to walk unless you have the courage to let go of your parent’s hand.
• Photo: “Tall Ships” by Wim Lassche. The small version of this image simply doesn’t do justice to the rich textures, details, and overall mood of the original photo. Trust me, you just have to view the larger version of these ships! Also, check out the photographer’s Photo.net gallery for other, equally amazing shots. They’re also featuring beautiful landscapes and settings, with rich textures and details, yet the photos aren’t overdone. Expect to see more of Wim Lassche’s work featured in Weekly Inspiration…
