It was a cold morning on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2011, at 8 a.m. I crawled out of my sleeping bag and opened the hatch on my sailboat that was at its slip at the Steele Creek Marina on Kerr Lake. I saw the fog and the color of changing leaves. The scene reminded me of the 17th century Flemish seascapes. I pulled some clothes over my long underwear, took the underwater camera that I use for snorkeling (a Panasonic DMC TS 10, about $150 at B&#038;H) and headed along the docks to take pictures. Of the many scenes, I selected this one. I imagined what it would have been like to return to a safe harbor after a long voyage in the 17th century.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
