Saturday Snapshot
July 30, 2011
Carl and I spied this ship in a bottle in Trafalgar Square in London. It’s huge and, for some reason, it fascinated me.

I’d be fascinated with it to if I stumbled across that while wandering about somewhere. =)
Thanks for sharing.
What a cool picture. I can see why you found it fascinating.
This is so cool.
Either it has appeared since we were there several years ago, or we missed it. Lovely, isn’t it?
How neat. No wonder it caught your eye.
It would have fascinated me too. That is the most unique and creative piece of public art I’ve seen a long time! And I’m from the city that gave us Cows On Parade and now the giant Marilyn Monroe statue.
Love it 🙂
That is HUGE! Wow!
Oh wow! That is just the coolest thing! I love ships in bottles, and would love to have seen this in person! Great photo, Kathy. Thanks for sharing it.
Awesome! It must be some sort of temporary display. I wonder if it was advertising some exhibit that was going on somewhere in London.
Wow, that IS big! What a neat shot!!
I think all ships in bottles are cool, but I’ve never in my life seen one this big!
I remember seeing that when I was down in London a while back. Great shot 🙂
How coooooooooool.
Is it as huge as it looks…it is amazing…
Oh wow that is tres neat!
That is way cool!
That is quite amazing, I can see why it captured your attention.
I can see why it fascinated you! It’s amazing! I would have loved to see it being made!
I think that would have fascinated me too!
That’s so cool! I wonder what it’s there for?
Yes, I wonder what the story is behind this … I bet it drew a crowd!
What a great picture! I have never seen a ship in a bottle this big!
Incredible and wonderful. I luv a ship in a bottle. I have to tell you this story. When I was a small girl, my mother and I were shopping on a certain avenue in Philly. We passed a dusty shop. I tugged her hand. I had seen a ship in a bottle in the window. I wanted it for my dad. So we went in the dusty, jammed store and asked the price. The little man said 75. I said “mom, mom, get it. get it.” Nicely my mother told me we couldn’t afford it. It wasn’t $.75. It was $75.00. lol. I always remember that ship in a bottle and that store when….
This is such a treat. I tweeted it and facebooked it. Grand.
I can’t stop looking at it.
How fabulous.
Gosh, I could’ve spent hours looking at that!
That is huge! Now I’m curious about the scale of the ship inside. 🙂
that’s huge! I can’t believe they were able to do this. I amazes me when they do it inside the tiny bottles but this one. Hmmm maybe they assemble the glass around it after… what do you think?
That would fascinate me too!
I think that is a pretty cool bottle!!!
That is so nifty! How on earth do they get those ships in there, anyway?
I was just there and saw that!
This is so cool and incredibly cool!! I could see why it would catch your eye!
Good gracious, that is huge!!
London is high up there on my wish list.
Amazing picture! I’d love to know the backstory on this bottle.
It’s completely fascinating! The sails look lovely and I can’t imagine how huge it really is. Very interesting.
That is so cool! I would have been fascinated by it too!
