This is a shot of Raven Arrow on water. Raven Arrow – that’s the name of this ship. I had to magnify the shot to read the name painted at the front end of the ship. It belongs to a company named GearBulk.
All very interesting names!
I suppose looking at the ship in a way it does like an arrow piercing the waters and since it’s black why not call it Raven Arrow. And GearBulk? Must be because the ship looks like one that’s designed to carry bulky stuff.
Names then do serve a purpose – to reflect the purpose of the thing being named.
And names can also give something a sense of life and make it come alive. I like how a very talented and creative fellow AM3 p-blogger, Rabbit, names her pottery pieces that she makes – it gives them a sense of being alive! Check out her p-blog here.
So what does your name mean? Can you see the purpose behind it? :)
Sometimes in life it’s good to remember your name and the meaning behind it – it can give you a sense of purpose and direction in life.
Be alive! Live your name!

I like the way your crop accentuates the line of the ship's deck. It's good balance to have it off-center, too. Just very cool!
30 Sep 2007 7:48am
quite a elongated .. atleast for me :)
Regarding my picture, No I did not because I had to leave the place and city immediately.

Nice shot...I don't know...my name means Great Warrior. Not really my style, except on the squash court. There at least I try to be one...
30 Sep 2007 8:08am
Very nice, kairospix, very nice!
30 Sep 2007 8:11am
Wow! What a beautiful shot
30 Sep 2007 8:17am
very nice and very Lovely
30 Sep 2007 8:32am
hey, I've been wondering if I should've bought an S5IS instead of my S3IS. Now I know i should've. Good one, kairo!
30 Sep 2007 8:46am
great bright color in this shot.

I like the golden lit sky in this. We sometimes go down to see the freighters pass by on Lake Erie and on up through the Detroit River channel. This is a great shot of the "Raven Arrow." The lighting and the calm water lend a tranquil feel.

thanks Kai for sharing!So what does your name mean?Mine means beautiful rhythm,peaceful. my sister beautiful rhythm,joyful. Its not so peacful at home dealing with 2 active boys,i should have a sign 'Welcome to Baghdad' outside my door.hahaha.But the chinese say,peace comes from within.
30 Sep 2007 9:14am
Well I have the name of the she-wolf that fed Rómulo and Remo...that sure gives too much to think about :) Great shot again and again!!!
30 Sep 2007 9:46am
Beautiful shot! And what an awful name, Gear Bulk, it sounds like vomiting with all due respect ;) I think every name given by somebody who loves the person animal or named, will give him/her/it a name in which this love is expressed. I believe your blogname means "pictures taken at the right occasion" (Kairos = Greek = the right moment, place, occasion). My new blogname Illuci means to mean a combination of "Illusion" and "In luce" (=in the light"). I must confess that I don't know the meaning of my first real name, I'm going to look it up, my second name means "son of the man of the people" (which I don't feel myself at all, I'm very on my own and individualistic, maybe that's why I like p-blogging). But it's good to consider from time to time! Nomen est omen, but also: What's in a name?
30 Sep 2007 9:48am
I looked up the meaning of my first name and it's contrary to my second name's meaning, namely: "ruler on his own" , so kind of dictator. I'm also not a dictator at all, so for me it holds "What's in a name".
30 Sep 2007 9:55am
great captured, i like the view large
30 Sep 2007 11:14am
Great shot!! I like especially the processing and the framing.
30 Sep 2007 11:26am

30 Sep 2007 11:28am

30 Sep 2007 12:04pm
excellent
30 Sep 2007 12:05pm
Your S5 is doing a great shot, of course the person behind the lens is the most important part.
30 Sep 2007 12:25pm
Wow this is a beautiful shot! It really looks like an arrow streaming through the water. Great title.
30 Sep 2007 1:42pm
Oh K!! You come up with the most interesting quandries. You just love to make us think outside the box. Really like your shot. Excellent (as usual). As to my name? The meaning of my name is beloved... I am blessed with that greatly.
30 Sep 2007 2:12pm
Great shot. I like the golden tone and the way you cropped it. Well done.
30 Sep 2007 3:01pm
great find and lovely golden tones!
30 Sep 2007 4:35pm
WOW!!! Absolutely love this image, and such excellent words as always to accompany it, dear kairo!! Wonderfully inspiring and encouraging!! My parents named me after "Rebekah/Rebecca", wife of Isaac in the Bible. But hey, my huband's name is Jeff :) . They told me they chose the name more for the character of Rebecca (especially her caring initiative in Genesis 24 & willingness to leave her familiar surroundings in order to follow God’s will) rather than the Hebrew meaning. I found out from a bit of googling that the Hebrew meaning of the name is “to bind” or “knotted cord”. heh heh :) , must say it reminds me of LV’s image today! :) . My Chinese name is “bi yi” meaning “jade (for “precious”) propriety”....whoa, tough standard to follow, i must say! lol :) . there's another variant of “yi” i like very much, which we have included in Elise’s Chinese name. We have an entry about that (Elise’s name) on our blog if you’d like to read it here. :) Well, really hope and pray by God’s grace we human beings can live up to the good aspects of our names!! :) Thanks again dear friend and brother for this wonderful post! Much blessings to you and yours always too :)
