seeking the sun

I guess this cruise ship was off to sunnier climes. We were watching from the beach at Lee on Solent this afternoon where we had gone for a walk and were looking out to the Isle of Wight.

This shot was taken before 5.30 p.m. but the light looked a bit eerie and like sunset.
One of the Princess ships Hazel. Beautiful...Fav

Great shot of this cruise ship . For the beauty of ships I prefer the Tea clippers from the past

Beautiful especially juxtaposed with the yacht.

Love the light behind the ship and the little sailboat behind the ship! Great capture!

great shot, although this is one type of holiday I would not like, I need to feel the grass and walk amongst the trees

What a magnificent shot Hazel. Love the juxtaposition of the ship and the yacht. makes me want to think about cruising again. A group of about 30 of us from Port Stephens went on a solar eclipse cruise to Northern Australia a couple of years ago. Lovely way to spend time with such a fantastic group of friends.

This has such a peacefulness about it. I really love the sky and how that sail boat sits right in the sunset. Big FAV

@pinkpaintpot

I have the same feelings as you about cruises - all those people and sleeping in a cabin!!!

@tonygig

thanks for comment and fav and yes I could read the word 'princess' through the long zoom on the camera but not the rest of the name.

@quietpurplehaze oh yes and sleeping in a cabin, we did it once on a ferry overnight that was enough

Super sharp ship capture, Hazel. Nice sky.

Thanks Ivan - it was a strange narrow band of sky on the horizon, like sunset but it wasn't sunset!
October 15th, 2014  
Impressive capture!

Love the soft effect and allowing boat to travel into the sunset
October 15th, 2014  
That is one BIG boat! Love the composition of the boat against the sky.
