Land in sight! Finally!

Land in sight! Finally!
 Darkness lies heavy over the sea, but on the horizon the contours of land are glimpsed. The dark clouds form a dramatic frame, while the moonlight breaks through and casts silver glints on the waves. The rough wood of the hull and the ropework at the front of the picture are reminiscent of toil and longing, of a journey that has lasted a long time. Now, finally, land appears – a promise of safety, rest and new hope. The moment captures both the relief and the grandeur of seeing solid ground after an endless darkness.
