    Epic seems like a highly appropriate name.

    Hard to believe ships can be this big. Must be 11 or 12 stories above the deck. Great photos.

    Livorno sure is a busy place. A lot happens so early in the morning there.

    Ha. In the 'small world' dept. Dining the other night with a couple who are flying to Europe soon and cruising on the, you guessed it, the Epic. Funny.

    I like so much the contrast between the BIG ship and the small boat, especially in the first shot ;)

    I am always somewhat amused at the size of the boats that are guiding the huge ships.

    Everyone knows his role in this process. Especially the photographer.

    Impressive ship although a holiday on such a ship sounds way too boring for me. But I like your photos of it.
