Excellent capture!!
Good capture erland
Super shot Sig. I remember watching tug boats pushing and pulling ocean going vessels in New York harbor when I was a boy. It now dawns on me that Azipods frees a ship's captain from the need for tugs. I'm sure they still pick up harbor pilots in the bigger ports but the ships themselves are tremendously maneuverable now.
Stunning capture! Big Boat!
Excellent capture!!love the lighting
great capture...
Splendid composition and colors my friend
Great shot, Sig! I find these big boats quite intimidating when I've been sailing a dinghy in Poole harbour!
I really love the contrast between the 3 vessels. I would be more than happy to own either of the first two! I doubt I could afford the third!!
really imoressive!!! Great picture!!
beautiful ship and I love how the pelican has made roost on the cabin cruiser. the other vessel is beautiful also
these are amazing boat/hotels
Beautiful boat and ship vision!!! Great shot!!! :)
Just when you think the great fleet of ocean liners is gone the cruise industry puts them in white and goes on. Gloomy skies and war give way to sunny skes and steel drum music.
supershot again.
Excellent capture my friend.
sehr schönes Foto!!!! Wunderbar!!!!!
I love your shots and the large images
Hi Sig, thanks for letting me know about this California' series you are doing, sorry I have missed them but I am on my way to see what I've missed the Star of India I have visited that before it is awesome to see... and YES your pictures do make me homesick, thanks for sharing them.. xo
@bmac62. Bill, you are absolutely right. I watched us leaving from St. Maarten. We were boxed in-one of four ships and scheduled to leave first. I thought to myself-no way. Well, the water started churning and we eased ourselves out of the port. Pilots are still required but not tugs, Sig...
Majestic boat, really great shot!
Beautiful ships. excellent photo!!
Fantastic shot Sig, I would love to see one of these up close, I am about sixty miles from the nearest sea port(Liverpool) but you don't get many cruise ships there. A friend of mine goes for a cruise once a year, but they fly to a mediteranian port to board or out to Barbados. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!
Great shot! :)
Beautiful shot ! I wish I was on that ship going somewhere
