@ Tonga, thanks old friend. I hope you are well and nearing retirement in ..... Tonga?!

@ Csaba, very true. Scale for comparison is all important. Nevertheless, we are now getting 2 or 3 400 metre long ships in at the same time each week, and familiarity breeds, well, normality! I no longer take quite so much notice of Triple E's as they have become commonplace :-(

@ Jens. Thanks ;-) but I am not getting up at 0500 to take photos, unless it was VERY special! hahaha

Tschüß, Rick

I like this a lot. It is much easier to comprehend the size of these monster ships if there is something near them to which size we can relate.
Cheers... :-)

God morgen Bendt, nice to hear from you again & thanks for your kind comment.
It was a shot taken during a weather break - seems like we had 4 seasons every *hour* yesterday ;-)
