Streetartwall. An enchanting mural with a sailing boat was sprayed/painted on a narrow exterior wall of a four-storey brick building. The mural is designed like a pastel-colored painting in a naive painting style and shows a red and pink sailboat with the silhouette of a girl. She is hanging high up on the mast and gazing into the distance. In the background, the sun shines warmly through the colorful clouds onto the blue water, tinting it pink. The pretty scene is framed by the stylized silhouette of London. (Four green prohibition signs with instructions can be seen in the bottom center of the picture, which somewhat disturbs the view)

A quarter-century ago, with firm commitments from my partner, we commissioned a <a href="/tags/sailboat/" rel="tag">#sailboat</a> design for <a href="/tags/bluewater/" rel="tag">#bluewater</a> <a href="/tags/cruising/" rel="tag">#cruising</a> on a budget.Still a lot of elements I like, but it would not be a fast <a href="/tags/cruiser/" rel="tag">#cruiser</a>. It also needs a substantial motor. Some things I know better than to do now: e.g. that windvane is dangerously far aft, unrepairable at sea. When it came to the build, my partner dithered and delayed. It was never built.<a href="/tags/sail/" rel="tag">#sail</a> <a href="/tags/sailing/" rel="tag">#sailing</a>

A photo of a lines plan for a sailboat from a naval architect. The paper on which it is printed is held flat by books at each corner, and the grey wood-look flooring is visible on the left.

The vessel depicted is a sloop with a long boom and a plank bowsprit, looking like a dated 1980s design. It includes a boomkin, and is drawn with a windvane autopilot.

Petaluma River IIThe Petaluma River is typically a very lazy river with a nice calming affect for those that can find the time to sit and enjoy its presence. There are only a handful of access points to the river, most of them in and around the town of Petaluma itself. This image was captured about halfway between the City of Petaluma and the San Pablo Bay.<a href="https://pixels.com/featured/petaluma-river-ii-bill-gallagher.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="pixels.com/featured/petaluma-river-ii-bill-gallagher.html">https://pixels.com/featured/petaluma-river-ii-bill-gallagher.html</a><a href="/tags/petalumariverii/" rel="tag">#PetalumaRiverII</a> <a href="/tags/billgallagherphotography/" rel="tag">#BillGallagherPhotography</a> <a href="/tags/buyintoart/" rel="tag">#BuyIntoArt</a> <a href="/tags/petalumariver/" rel="tag">#PetalumaRiver</a> <a href="/tags/sunrise/" rel="tag">#Sunrise</a> <a href="/tags/sailboat/" rel="tag">#Sailboat</a> <a href="/tags/boats/" rel="tag">#Boats</a> <a href="/tags/ayearforart/" rel="tag">#AYearForArt</a>

Petaluma River II

The scene opens on a quiet stretch of the Petaluma River at what feels like the first warm breath of the morning. The light is soft and honey‑gold, the kind that settles gently over everything it touches. It glows across the water’s surface, turning the river into a smooth sheet of warm color—amber near the horizon, shifting into cooler silvery blues as it approaches the foreground.

A yellow sailboat sits anchored near the center of the frame, its hull catching the sunlight so vividly that it seems to radiate its own warmth. The boat’s reflection stretches downward in the water, slightly blurred and trembling with the river’s movement. A faint wake trails from its bow—just enough to show that the current is stronger than it looks, tugging steadily downstream.

On either side of the river, the banks are lined with tall reeds and muted winter grasses, their textures soft and feathery in the coming light. They lean slightly, shaped by the breeze and the season. Behind them, the land rises gently into low, rolling hills, their silhouettes softened by distance and the warm haze of the setting sun.

The sky is a delicate gradient—peach near the horizon, deepening into pale blue as it rises. Thin, wispy clouds drift across it, catching just enough light to glow at the edges. The air feels cool but calm, carrying the scent of wet earth, river mud, and the faint tang of brackish water.

Lake Michigan SunsetSummer time on the lakes means long days and short nights with some of the best sunsets that can be imagined. The winds were calm but blowing enough to put the sail up and cruise around and catch the sunset. This is one of the images I was able to capture.<a href="https://pixels.com/featured/lake-michigan-sunset-bill-gallagher.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="pixels.com/featured/lake-michigan-sunset-bill-gallagher.html">https://pixels.com/featured/lake-michigan-sunset-bill-gallagher.html</a><a href="/tags/lakemichigansunset/" rel="tag">#LakeMichiganSunset</a> <a href="/tags/billgallagherphotography/" rel="tag">#BillGallagherPhotography</a> <a href="/tags/greatlakes/" rel="tag">#GreatLakes</a> <a href="/tags/lakemichigan/" rel="tag">#LakeMichigan</a> <a href="/tags/sunset/" rel="tag">#Sunset</a> <a href="/tags/orangesky/" rel="tag">#OrangeSky</a> <a href="/tags/calmwaters/" rel="tag">#CalmWaters</a> <a href="/tags/sailboat/" rel="tag">#Sailboat</a> <a href="/tags/orangehorizon/" rel="tag">#OrangeHorizon</a> <a href="/tags/buyintoart/" rel="tag">#BuyIntoArt</a> <a href="/tags/ayearforart/" rel="tag">#AYearForArt</a> <a href="/tags/wallart/" rel="tag">#WallArt</a> <a href="/tags/giftideas/" rel="tag">#GiftIdeas</a> <a href="/tags/michigansummer/" rel="tag">#MichiganSummer</a>

Lake Michigan Sunset

This image opens onto a vast sweep of Lake Michigan at sunset, the water stretching out like a sheet of gently rippling glass. The lake’s surface glows with molten color—deep oranges, soft golds, and smoldering reds—each hue melting into the next as if the sky has spilled its warmth across the water. The sun itself sits low on the horizon, a brilliant, fiery orb partially veiled by thin, streaking clouds that catch the light and shimmer like brushed copper.

The air in the scene feels warm and still, the kind of quiet that settles over the lake at the end of a long summer day. The water reflects the sky so cleanly that the boundary between the two blurs; the horizon becomes a soft, glowing seam where light meets water.

A sailboat rests in the foreground, its silhouette dark against the blaze of color behind it. The mast rises like a slender line of ink, and the boat’s hull gently kisses the glowing water. You can almost hear the faint creak of rigging and the soft slap of small waves against the sides of the boat—subtle, rhythmic sounds that deepen the sense of calm.

The entire scene carries the warmth of memory: the smell of sun‑heated wood, the faint tang of freshwater, the lingering heat of a long northern summer day. It feels both expansive and intimate, like a moment held still just long enough to breathe it in.
