SAILING INTO THE SUNSET

Here are some photos I took of the big cruise ship "Celebrity Solstice" as it sailed out of Melbourne last Saturday. The light wasn't the best and the distance was considerable, but I think these photos give you an idea of the size of the ship... Melbourne is a popular port of call for the cruise liners and one can often see groups of tourists int he City after a ship docks at the port.

    The ship looks huge! I imagine passengers of ships are quite important to Melbourne's economy.

    That really is a HUGE ship! I am not a fan of cruises - much prefer dry land, or at least a boat where I can still see the land...but I hear that people have great fun and eat lots of good food. Nice shots, and they really do show the size!

    Love the style of the ship! And it really seems to dwarf the coastline!

    That's enormous! I bet the passengers who ventured ashore just loved Melbourne.
