Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro container ship, IMO 9357963, port of Livorno
Last Sunday, when I saw the container ship “Rio de Janeiro” leaving port, it was raining and I was quite far away.
Rio de Janeiro container ship, IMO 9357963, port of Livorno
As usual, the 286-meter passing ship dwarfed the pilot boat.

I can never get over the vast difference in size between these tugs and their client ships.

That first shot is amazing. One to be framed and hung on a wall.

That ship looks lightly loaded. Great photos with lots of red color.

That boat looks incredibly tiny in comparison!

Ya, but they are the 'little engines that can'. There's a moral somewhere here.
