Cassandra

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.”   -Heraclitus

I took this photo in 2011 after passing by this little boat on many occasions.   Something about the weathered, yet still vibrant exterior caught my interest.  It seemed at once stray or abandoned, perhaps an homage to its namesake, a daughter or wife.  I then made a point to "check in" on the boat whenever i was in town, always amazed that it had survived another month, another year.  Until this past summer when i found it sunk, still at anchor, a ghostly visage below the rippling surface, floating no more.
