i'd like to get you on a slow boat to china... by summerfield

i'd like to get you on a slow boat to china...

that's a really old song. today,

i was testing the panorama function of my camera as i know i would like to take such pictures when i get to the islands in two weeks' time.

this is a retired ship that is touted as one of toronto waterfront's attractions. it is now a seafood restaurant. ate there a long time ago when i first came to canada. the food was so-so then. i heard now there's a new chef and that the food is superb. will check it out one of these days.

so @steeler and @patticake, how d'you like my ship?
OOOH I love this perspective. My time away from 365 I really missed seeing your imagery.

Wow. Great capture. That looks like a very large boat. I like the cool clouds in that beautiful blue sky.

I've seen that ship, you make it look huge!!!~ I really like the perspective. Nice shot.

The panorama is great! Beautiful shot! (And Barry Manilow did this on an album of big band music. I think it came out in the 90's so it's not that old any more!)

cool panorama shot! now i'm curious --- how do they run the restaurant in the winter with the ice and all?

@silverdraggin - hi, meiska, welcome back. thank you for the comments.

@pamfromcalgary - when it's dreary all morning and the sun suddenly comes out and shines like this, one knows a photo is a must. i got lucky at lunchtime this happened so i ran to the waterfront and take a pic of the boat. the clouds were a bonus. thank you, pam.

@sanera - thank you, sam. it does look quite larger in here than in person, doesn't it? hmmm.

@olivetreeann - thank you, ann. rod stewart also did the song also with bette middler in his 'great american songbook' series.

@sunnygreenwood - i think the restaurant still opens during winter. i'm sure they would have to do a thorough clearing of both pavements and planks to get business. the heating cost must be enormous as it's always extremely cold out in the water. thank you, anne.

@steeler - yay! i'd give you this if it was mine. because really, that's a very small parking space for it, yes? thank you, howard.

@alia_801 - thank you, alia.

Hi Summerfield, some how I seem to have lost track of you but I am back. Great shot. The closest to something like this here is our riverboat which offers a dinner cruise
