Volendam

The 237m long M.S. Volendam sailed past the house last night. It was heading south after visiting Alaska.

Terrific capture :)

[Ali P]

Amazing view from your house!

[Taffy]

I'm trying to figure out where your house would be situated as I would have thought this was going north. Which mountains are in the distance?

[Beryl Lloyd]

A wonderful sight !

[KWind]

@taffy We are on the east coast of Vancouver Island (Campbell River). The mountains in the distance are the mainland, north of Vancouver.

[tony gig]

Lovely shot, and one of my fav Holidays.

[Call me Joe]

Just beautiful:)

[Paula W]

I like the inclusion of the grasses in the foreground. A lovely scene. We hope to do an Alaskan cruise next year, I'll give you a wave if we pass this way :)

[KWind]

@paulaw Please do, Paula! We had friends go by at night once and we used a giant flashlight to signal them from shore.

[cmewander]

wow! sailed past the house??? where do you live? and how soon can i visit?? (j/k!) LOL

[Anja]

Impressive, both the ship and the surroundings.

[Julia]

Wow! Fabulous shot! Love the layers of blue sky, clouds, mountains, water, and grasses. The inclusion of the cruise ship is a plus

[Bill Fenske]

Wow

[Taffy]

@kwind Oh, now it makes sense. Is Vancouver Island where Bouchard Gardens are located? We had a wonderful weekend there once, but it's probably been 30 years!

[KWind]

@taffy Yes, its just outside victoria which is south of us about 3 hours.

[Taffy]

@kwind Now I 'get' the amazing views you have. What a spectacular place to live!

[Corinne]

Impressive boat !

[Myrna O'Hara]

what a super shot, beautiful mountains, well focused.

[eDorre]

The wee tree seems to be watching the boat go by! Beautiful blues!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

What an amazing view you have- and I know this ship is not the only spectacular thing you see from the shore- you see some amazing aquatic life too! Great shot!

[Kim]

Such pretty layers in your gorgeous view. Son number three and his family leave tomorrow for an Hawaiian cruise.

[Milanie]

What a view you must have - love this ship against the mountains and just a few white caps on the water. Beautiful.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Lucky ship, having been to Alaskan waters. And then yours.

Lovely cruise ship.
