HMS Bounty, was a British merchant ship that the Royal Navy purchased in 1787 for a botanical mission. The ship was sent to the South Pacific Ocean under the command of William Bligh to acquire breadfruit plants and transport them to the British West Indies. That mission was never completed owing to a 1789 mutiny led by acting lieutenant Fletcher Christian, an incident now popularly known as the Mutiny on the Bounty. The mutineers later burned Bounty while she was moored at Pitcairn Island in the Southern Pacific Ocean in 1790. An American adventurer helped land several remains of Bounty in 1957.
Prompt: A dramatic, ultra-detailed 12K vertical digital artwork of the historic tall ship HMS Bounty battling a powerful hurricane at sea. The full-rigged 18th-century sailing vessel is depicted with every accurate detail from its black-and-yellow hull to the intricate rigging and weathered canvas sails. The ship surges through towering, chaotic waves under a stormy sky. High winds whip the partially furled sails and strain the taut lines, while sea spray blasts across the deck. Lightning forks across the background, illuminating the massive swells and the Bounty’s silhouette against the turbulent ocean. Crew members in period attire are seen bracing on the deck, fighting to maintain control. Water crashes over the bow as the ship climbs a steep wave, embodying the peril and resilience of classic seafaring during nature’s fury.
Style: Hyper-realistic, ultra-detailed artwork
Lighting: diffuse storm daylight
Mood: Intense, perilous, heroic survival
Color Palette: ocean green-blue, weathered wood, black and gold trim
Aspect Ratio: Vertical
Resolution: 12K

LSRC 304 and 4304 lead southbound train 326S past a flooded section just after Third and Franklin Street in Alpena Michigan. This scene occurs just about every year as the snow starts to melt.

One thing that I find interesting about traveling ahead of an election is that you see a lot of local issues out on full display. This display near the intersection of US 78 and I-26 in North Charleston, South Carolina is a perfect example, with this clearly homemade sign endorsing Carlton Walker for the 15th District for the South Carolina House of Representatives, with the message “No Moore men in little girls’ sports” beneath it. I was able to do some research later to determine that Walker ultimately lost the race, but I don’t understand the issue being discussed on the lower sign. I assume that if I were local, it would make more sense. My best guess is that it has something to do with transgender issues, and assuming that I am correct about that, I suspect that I would probably disagree with the sentiments being expressed here.

I realise now that the shutter speed needs to be lower so as not to freeze the prop

A stormy Talisker Bay on Skye. The day was as grey as this looks with the exception of this buoy and what at first I thought was a bollard but is actually a gauntlet. Still, it looked wild and beautiful and Talisker waterfall was in full flow also.
NickD58 posted a photo:
It doesn't really look too stormy here but the wind was blowing and the rain was falling. The water coming down the waterfall was occasionally pushed upwards when a very strong gust of wind would hit the cliffs.
