    I'm not sure that the sailor's life is one that I could lead. Terrific takes on these two ships.

    That second picture almost looks like a toy ship. I like it!

    Do you take these photos from the shore or from another ship?

    I wonder why they named that one Gloria.

    I'm not sure if I envy your steady hand, your tripod or your camera - but pictures like these are so wonderfully dramatic I wish I had taken them. Jealousy!

    Bella la seconda immagine anche se sgranata, il mare mosso affascina più di quello calmo! Ciao, Arianna
