Cheers Volker, Jadran and Jürgen, thank you all very much for your kind comments, mates. Helgoland actually is a particular favourable place for authentic unclouded fine holiday-summer feelings;)

Best regards, David

A real summer holiday image....
When travelling on her in may this year I spoke briefly to the master and asking him about the funny grey stack or mast. It has something to do with the gas propulsion. Emergency valve outlet. Obviously has to be high and away from the deck for safety reasons.
Thanks for posting echobow

That, really high mast of her, looks like the 'telescopic arm' on Quantum of the Seas (:=D):
