A Distant Ship, Smoke On The Horizon

Part two of the Comfortably Numb series.

This is a direct visualization of what I see in my mind when I hear the lyric which is the title of this piece. There seems to be some sort of subtle, quiet appeal to a ship drifting across the ocean horizon. I don't know why that is, and frankly, I'm not too concerned about the 'why'. It just is, and while some may not think it be like it is, it certainly do.

The ship in the distance is the USS Texas (AKA San Marcos), one of the US Navy's first battleships, launched in 1892.

Why did I choose to craft and incorporate that particular ship? Well, it seemed a good idea at the time.
