It’s cruise ship season in Sydney. The “Carnival Splendor” is one of the smaller ships!!

What an iconic image of this grand lady of the sea and even the seagull is flying in to check her out,

[Bucktree]

Beautiful capture of this beauty.

great dynamic range in this shot

"Small". After missing the boat to Alaska due to Covid, I began to wonder if I really wanted to be on board such a large petri dish. But these ships are impressive to see.

Thanks for commenting. I’ve only ever been on two cruises. The ship we came to Australia in in 1955. A ship which took me to Singapore to fly to work in London in 1976!!!

[Mallory]

A fabulous shot

@onewing
Hi Babs. This was taken at Circular Quay which is the central point for most ferries throughout Sydney harbour. The little green boats are ferries.

[Bill]

Having the smaller boats beside it really gives perspective of size.

[Suzanne]

That's a great shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

LOL- small- yeah, right! Great shot- the ferries really add scale and that sea gull flying into the frame was perfect timing.

[Shutterbug]

Seems like they just keep getting bigger and bigger. Nice capture of it with the bridge in the background.

[Rick]

Looks really big to me also. Great capture.

[Kathy A]

Great shot. I’d love to be sailing off on her

[Denise Wood]

Terrific capture :)

[John Falconer]

@gilbertwood @kjarn @rickster549 @shutterbug49 @olivetreeann @ankers70 @cwbill @sunnygirl

This one really is smaller than the other ships over the last month. But it is huge. The ferries in the photo are not very big!

[Beverley]

Wonderful capture, the ferries look tiny in comparison

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Great capture

[Jeremy Cross]

Wow, it looks huge! Great shot

[william wooderson]

Small??? Pretty impressive! Fav

[KWind]

Wonderfully composed with the bridge in the background.

[Paula Fontanini]

Fabulous shot of this impressive cruise ship...it looks massive next to the smaller ships!
