Tommy, thanks for this update. Yes indeed, ships are more than special. In passing, if you ever see "China Triumph" or "China Prosperity" in your travels, do please try and take a picture.
Regards
Mark

Thank you Mark. I'm doing this professionally as an aerial photographer but I have enjoy looking and admire ships since I was a young boy. My dad was a boarding officer for a British Shipping Company base here in Singapore. He had taught me about the different types of ships. I ahd personally sailed for 2 months as a relieve purser on a passenger liner way back in 1978. I'm do feel sentiment for ship and appreciate the angles the creators / architects who first saw her in his mind.

Tommy, that is a very good shot indeed and a different angle that underlines her sheer size.
