HEADING NORTH

Best viewed enlarged if you have time, thank you.

Shot posted sooc except for some heavy cropping . Also taken with the camera handheld.
From my sister’s apartment’s back balcony I saw this cruise ship far out at sea steaming northwards probably on the way to Italy. I got the camera and took some shots of it. I think this is the best of them. The ship is from the Costa line – see the ‘C’ on the chimney. The Costa Line is a regular visitor to Malta.
Joke:
There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her
brother in another part of the country.

"Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk.

"Only the Ten Commandments." answered the lady.
Thank you so much for looking and for the wonderful comments and all the fav's on yesterday's picture. Very much appreciated.
Looks like a big one.
