This image represents ...

Wind and Storm

for


Wild Omens of Spring


The 17th century was the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean Sea.


Unfortunately, Caribbean storms ravaged both pirates (often "privateers") and merchants alike. High-risk, but high rewards.


One of the greatest pirates (a privateer) in history was Sir Francis Drake, who the Queen of England had made "legitimate." The other most amazing pirate was Henry Morgan. That's right, Blackbeard looks cool, but other people were better.... =P


But your reputation will never save you from an ocean storm...


If you'd like to see a video of this image, you can view it here. (it's just my DeviantArt-dedicated YouTube channel). It's not meant for part of the competition, it's just for fun. :)


Incidentally, one of the greatest games ever on PC (and recently ported to Xbox) is Sid Meier's Pirates! :happybounce:


That link will take you to GOG, where you can buy it for $9.99. It's worth it! :#1:

Oh you set your course for the furthest shores
And you never once looked back
And the flag you flew was a pirate cross
On a field of velvet black
And those landsmen who you but lately knew
Were left stranded on the lea
Don't call on them when the storm clouds rise
On the dark and the rolling sea


Oh I have no need of a chart or creed
You told your waiting crew
For the winds of chance, they will bear us straight
And you spoke as though you knew
So you paid no mind to the warning signs
As you gave your words so free
Don't change your tack when the timbers crack
On the dark and the rolling sea


Now the thunder rails in the great mainsails
And the stars desert the skies
And the rigging strains as the hands of rain
Reach down to wash your eyes
And your oarsmen stands with his knife in hand
And his eyes spell mutiny
Don't call my name when your ship goes down
On the dark and the rolling sea


The Dark and the Rolling Sea by Al Stewart (1975)
