April 12

Deserted and Abandoned

Easter Morning. Decided to go down to the waterfront, which as expected was devoid of people, so no problems with social distancing.
Two cruise ships have been stranded here for several weeks now. Normally this area would be teeming with people:
Tourists, cruise line passengers, joggers, dog walkers, people waiting for the ferry, harbor cruise or whale watching...
I have never seen the waterfront so empty.

I feel for the employees and the people who like cruises, but cruising is a very carbon intensive way to vacation. I don't think it is sustainable.

Happy Easter! The place seems sad and lonely. V

I like the mood of this photo and the emptiness of the water front improves its beauty. I know that I'm unfair, because so many people like cruises and so many people work in that sector, but I don't feel sorry for the "stranded" cruise ships at all.

Perhaps oceans welcome the absence of cruise ships for a while! Love the look of the closer ship.

strikingly deserted for a cruise ship dock...the ship's older style colour scheme is reminiscent of Cunard ships of long ago...
