Description:

RIO GRANDE as shown while upbound on the St.Lawrence River off Verchères on December 18, 2005 while on charter to MSC. The skies had cleared sufficiently to light the subject very well but the white dots on the ship's hull have nothing to do with her paint scheme; actually it's snowing enough to see the flakes showing contrasted on dark surfaces. Can't beat our Verchères weather!

Lovely shot Marc, the winter shots certainely have character. Like the snow effect, we have had a bit here recently, very rare for this area of England.

Derek

Love the wintertime shots. Note the ice on the containers near the bow from spray. Cool.
