The Queen Mary was in the port of Rotterdam, Holland today.

For a lot of people it was kind of an emotional view; it was docked at the same place as the big boats in the fifties going to New York. After the war a lot of Dutch people left for the US. Listening to the conversations around me i heard a lot of stories about those days.

    She was just here in Newport, RI on July 4th but I didn't get to see her. I think she's supposed to come back in September, I'll definitely try to get down there for that.

    The last one is my favorite, a nice way to capture it.

    I like the second one. But my favorite is the reflection. It's great! Definitely belongs in the challenge.

    Lovely image - I really think this is a great shot of the QEII and done in a very original manner as well. But you definitely should NOT enter it in the challenge......... Laughing.gif

    rolleyes1.gif Thanks for the compliment..i guess.. :D
    This shot is the one i liked best from all i have for this challenge anyway.. Not as happy with it as pictures for the other challenges, but still.. Just maybe i'll get another one from that windmill (if i'll have the nerve getting in their yard again :D) but for now i entered this one.
