While looking through old photos at the Sanford Museum I came across a photograph of an old steamboat at dock on Lake Monroe. I was more excited about the foreground with the two small boats and the grass along the lake's edge than I was about the dock. I was especially interested in the way all the little nuances of composition pointed you towards the dock and steamboat. Even the stairs on the right side took you down the steps just to have the small boats take your eye back up to the center of interest. It must have been a great time to live, back in the 1880' before gasoline and automobiles. Wouldn't you rather ride a steamboat than a Greyhound?
