Ah, thank you for your kind words Grammy. I too had to struggle a lot due to light but at least some turned out good.

I’ve been there a couple of times and it never fails to impress, but I think what amazes me more than anything is that the ship was destined to fail. It looks top-heavy and it was. Great photos!
