What does this image seem like to you? What a cool shot right?

Try your hand at guessing what people thought it was!

Our friend Cullen looked out his window one morning and what should he happen to see? A small, 8-10 foot boat cruising along in the Caribbean, with a true lady holding her "parasol" high in the air as the gentleman drove her around! It certainly brings to mind the good old-fashioned times. And makes us long for just such a drive!

UPDATE:

Re: Anonymous - you would think it was a whale shark; the girls who took the shot thought so too...but then, THIS happened! Can you believe it?! Driftwood! It made for an interesting morning though!
