This is a rich, deep red. The colour is more accurate in the close up.

The posting nib is meant for cheap paper, so is rigid and writes dry + EF.

"And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.”

'I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife...' #JohnMasefield #travelphotography #EastCoastKin #WeAreRoamers #Seascape

“Life, a beauty chased by tragic laughter.”

🎵 Sea Fever

Calm green blue Atlantic with blue sky above dotted with white fluffy clouds. A promontory on the right in the distance with rocks and scrub in the foreground

'I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying' #JohnMasefield #SeaFever #Tangier #EastCoastKin

Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir, Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine, With a cargo of ivory, And apes and peacocks, Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine. Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus, Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores, With a cargo of diamonds, Emeralds, amethysts, Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores. Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack, Butting through the Channel in the mad March days, With a cargo of Tyne coal, Road-rails, pig-lead, Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

“Devo descer aos mares novamente, para o mar solitário e o céu. E tudo que peço é um navio alto e uma estrela para guia-la;
E o impulso da roda e o canto do vento e o tremor da vela branca;
E uma névoa cinzenta na face do mar e um amanhecer cinzento surgindo.”
