THE VIKINGS ARE COMING! NO, THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN TO THE USA AND SOME OF US JUST DIDN'T REALIZE IT. BUT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS INTERESTING PHOTO FROM Swede66....I FOUND THE WOOD TEXTURE APPEALING. LIKEWISE, I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE COLOR AND THE MOVEMENT OF THE LIGHT AND SHADOW. THE BOW IS SHARP AND STRIKING. I WOULD SUPPOSE THE BOW WAS DESIGNED TO SPLIT OR BURST ICE WHEN NEEDED. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS ITEM OF SWEDEN'S MARITIME HISTORY.
A LONGBOAT
Traditional longboat, typical of the area around Lake Siljan in Sweden. People used these boats to travel to church over the lake.

About Me
- HUFFSTUTTER'S PHOTO ESSAYS
- My dad's dad, my grandfather, was nine years old when President Lincoln died from an assassin's bullet. Most people think I am speaking of my GREAT GRANDFATHER. NO, I am referring to my dad's father, my paternal Grandfather, Robert Levi Huffstutter, born in 1856. What does this information have to do with my profile? It might help the reader understand that I have a sense of being much older than I am in that only one generation seperates me from President Lincoln. This causes me to respond differently to society and many current events. In many respects, this is to my benefit, in other respects it dates my mindset. Perhaps this is the reason I value the moral standards and idealogies of older Americans, the men who were the soldiers and sailors I saw when I was a small boy,the men and women who fought a war for freedom without any doubts posted by a media with a questionable lack of national unity and purpose.
