I love that photo. I think I would find the ocean endlessly fascinating and dynamic. I base that on the fact that in an airplane above the clouds I find the clouds endlessly fascinating and dynamic. I hope you will be posting some of your photos. I enjoy your site and your photos.
I am the same way about clouds on the plane! Clouds, in general. I will, indeed, be posting more pix. As you pointed out before, I need to revive my Flickr account. Gonna head over to your blog now and see what’s up with you! :) ~Tui
So NOT fair! You’re supposed to invite one Mr. Tracey Buh-GOK along on these types of trips! I WANT ALL THE PICS!!! :) LOVE YOU! Who is Tex? :)
OK, Mr. T. Buh-gok! It would be a lot of fun to cruise with you, I must say. :) I will be posting more pix! Love back atcha, my dear. :)
Wow, that was quite a trip. Very nostalgic, pre-WWII. How long did the trans-Atlantic portion take?
It was super fun! I have a notebook full of notes that I haven’t fully digested yet. It took a week to cross the Atlantic. I worried that the days at sea would get boring, but they just flew by! I’ll be posting more about it, that’s for sure! ~Tui
So glad there were mostly smooth seas for you!
Seas as far as the eye can see…and the clouds reflecting in them, gorgeous shot.
I should have asked someone how far we were seeing. The sea stretched all the way to the horizon and I have no idea how many miles I was seeing. The clouds were often much lower than I expected. It was beautiful and smelled great, too. ~Tui
Great photo Tui. Looks like a great trip.
It was, Joe. Hey, I’m gonna go check out your 7 Fishes Feast… Buon Natale! :) ~Tui
Love that photo, you almost expect the water to nudge the clouds so they kind of bounce up and down!
Glad you had a good time!
Everything seemed so heightened and alive out there… if the sea had suddenly nudged the clouds it would have made sense somehow! :) ~Tui
