Hong Kong at Night

World Cruises, 2009 and 2018

Folder: Crusing Travel
Our first World Cruise was in 2009, soon after retirement. We got to see all of the "famous" places, such as the Taj Mahal and Pyramids. We didn't know how good this all was, as the world has changed a lot since then. In 2018, we decided on another one, so we spent 4 months on the Amsterdam, circling the world.

Party Boat in Bali

This "pirate ship" party boat came very close to our cabin on the cruise ship. The noise was deafening. This shot of the party-goers was made possible by the high-ISO capabilities of the Panasonic Lumix GX-85. More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

Just Park Next to the Wall, It'll Be OK (HWW)

Dubai Gold (H.A.N.W.E.)

Taken on our world cruise in 2009. We wandered through the various souks in Dubai, and came to the area where the gold sellers were located. The brilliant color really caught my eye. Image processed with GIMP.

My Office Door Is Always Open (HFF)

Open door Sunday Challenge. This "office" was a small building in one of the locks of the Panama Canal. This 2018 transit was yet another Canal one for us (10 so far?), and it was made more interesting by torrential rains.

Square Fence, Phuket (HFF)

An iron fence I saw during our tour in Phuket. (Squares in squares, etc. Also some flowers inside some of the squares.) Much manipulated in GIMP to get it into a square format.

Wires

We always find it fascinating to look up in larger cities. In this case, Manila provided quite the "wired" view. Taken through a bus window, so there are reflections. Image processed with GIMP.

Welcome (to the Panama Canal) (H.A.N.W.E.,HFF)

On our trip through the Canal in 2018, we saw several changes. One of which included the lawn signs near the Canal entrance. Just One Word, for Sunday Challenge. Image processed with GIMP.
