The cruise ship Noordam arrived in Akaroa Harbour today and the tenders ferried 1000s of passengers in to the little town to be carted off on various tours.The sea fog crept in during the day and just about hid this ship in the harbour.
Three Good Things
1. Turned out nice and hot again for various walks around the Camp.
2. A coffee down on the sidewalk watching people buy tons of things.
3. Dinner down in the town at the same bar above the sands. It was full of locals all having a great time including a dog. Someone would throw the stick out the window, the dog would race around, dive into the water, retrieve the stick then come back into the restaurant and shake himself!
There's nothing as fun as sitting people watching Maggie! I have never been on a cruise but think it would be hard waiting your turn to get off, I am always at the front wanting to be away! You're only as quick as the slowest in a big party! I like this big ship in the mist!
A terrific shot of the ship for starters and the fog adds so much mystery to it. I like the way you have chosen to frame it with the tree. This one is definitely headed to the PP. I hope you didn't get doused by the dog.
Am I imagining a smaller boat in front? No-one else has mentioned it and I feel it gives a huge sense of scale to the larger ship. Very atmospheric with the fog xx
@maggiemae Oh good...phew! I've only recently started to wear my specs when I should and thought I might be seeing things :) It really does show how huge the ship is so I think it makes the shot tbh xx
