| Description: | It's called the New Moon and its' the pride and consternation of the Norfolk Yacht Harbor of California Oakland Estuary. Concocted by Sculptor David Brooks, it's an ark of many-splendored stain glass windows with more facets than a diamond. How it would fare in a gale in anybody's guess but it's kooky and wonderful. Establishing Shot - This unusual, almost, diamond shaped boat house that's built on the lower portion of a WWII Landing Craft Hull is crafted out of plywood. Medium CUS - Sculptor David Brooks busy chiseling away a piece of wood. I like the concept of the house boat /work shop but I wonder how it would stand up if some heavy winds blew in? MS - Side view of the boat shows seven different styles of windows that David incorporated. It works and I like it. MS 0n the front of the house David has different shapes of stained glass windows and once again it works well. I can only reiterate and ask the question; how well will it handle in windy weather and wavy seas? | |
