This collection of images by several artists was inspired by Iain’s story by the same title: A Boat Called Freedom. I hope you enjoy all the freedom boats as much as I did, discovering them.

…at Two Medicine Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA.
The story of how the area came about its name is taken from the writings of James Willard Schultz, who was adopted into the Blackfeet tribe and had an Indian wife, Sinopah:
The Blackfeet Confederacy was divided into three tribes: the Pikuni, the Bloods, and the Blackfeet. In the spring each tribe held an Okan’—a religious ceremony—and it just so happened that one year two of the tribes, the Pikunis and Bloods, happened to hold theirs at the same time and in the same place. After that the river was called Two Medicine Lodges, or Two Visions Lodges River—later shortened to Two Medicine.

This is a wonderful collection of boats. I love them.
Picture yourself in each boat, relaxing on the calm water!
Maybe some day will get to see all of these places.
Thanks Ed for Your excellent idea – that would be one of the easiest things to do – and sail away…
Nezka, I have my fingers crossed for You and hope all Your heart desires come true!!

Yes, its quite a nice series of pictures.
I love the clarity and color of these images. I feel like I could almost step right into them.
These pictures are simply stunning…a picture is truly worth a thousand words…
The photographs are so real and rich in details and color! The first photograph is especially stunning and a real pleasure to look at. I sure wish I was there! Of course, the third photograph is also quite impressive! Some of these photographs have a real sense of adventure to them with just one or two boats venturing out towards the natural world and away from civilization. Freedom, indeed, is one of the top words I would choose in describing the feelings stirred up within me when I admire and immerse myself in these photographs!
My son looked over my shoulder as I was viewing these beautiful locations with a boat theme. He said he would like to be there. For a stay at home fifteen year old that’s some compliment!
Really everyone will be impressed by seeing at this photography. The lone boat picture is awesome.I had set this picture as my desktop wall paper.Why can’t you place these photographs on a blog so that everyone can see this wonderful photographs.
Very nice. I enjoyed looking.
I was really surprised by “Lone boat in Maui, Hawaii, at sunset.” The way the sun is beneath the long line of cloud makes it look a little surreal. I found the picture following “Lone boat in Maui, Hawaii, at sunset,” to be especially beautiful because the focus is on the water’s reflection, very much reminiscent of the Impressionists.
Awesome photographies!
Especially the one at the two medicine lake.
Thanks for always being there
Your pictures reminded me of the many times I took my canoe out in the magical early evening when the power boats had all gone to roost, the air was calm, and there were only a few ripples on the lake. Sometimes I would watch the sun going down over the hill, and the late-to-bed birds were calling their ways to their nests. There was a solitary bay ripple high with a forest of weeds, too shallow for power boats, where I could look over the canoe side and see the snails meandering on the oozy mud, the occasional fish, a turtle lazing on a piece of wood jutting out of the water and once a one-legged heron with one eye on me and the other looking for his supper.
Unbelievably good! Thanks for the stunning pictures.
