Hello
thanks for the beautiful pictures.
Such nice light, the mediterrean looks very bright and transparant, and QE2 looks glamourous.
I wonder why the companies never use the pictures you can find here in their brochures.
You have a wonderful eye.

Absolutely marvellous pics, matdark.

The photos of the ship are stunning. I saw my crew member in one of your pictures so sent him the link. He was a little embarrassed you got him. Hehe.

A very nice series of images. I bet your partner, like Mrs Malcolm, has to request extra coat hangers!

I loved the Black and White shots of you both in formal dress - they looked just like images from the past!

I though the fact that you took a picture of your boarding photo was funny! (So much cheaper than buying it.)

Have you tried the QM2?
