I found the sight of this shipwrecked hulk profoundly haunting but inspiring as well. It reminds us of the struggles all people face, but the lifting of the clouds give hope. The dark of the rocks is countered by the lightening of the sea, mirroring the eternal struggle of darkness and light, and that of life itself.
