A WORD A WEEK CHALLENGE – Silhouette

I have thousands of pictures like most of us, but it was kind of hard to find silhouettes from  them. And if I was smart I would only post one, but as I did find few  – I am going to share more that a few ( I know its three) So I’ll have few titles – people, boats, trees

Trees  at the top, Ships and boats below
