While I was on the cruise for my birthday, I took this picture while looking over the back of the boat. I like the mood it gives, and think it's cool that the M/S Paradise is legible on the life ring on the railing. I also like the colors.
A warm sun low on the horizon, the wash in shadow though just enough light to pick out the bubble caused by cavitation from the props. Beautiful colours.
Yeh, its a good time of day to laze around the taffrail, looking where youve been n catchin a few rays. Happy Birthday Paul, Im envious of your trip [& the company!]
One small point though you were on a ship, not a boat. Its a size thing. The easy way to remember it is that ships carry [life]boats.
