From Oriana in Venice...

From Nautica also in Venice...

Oh, Terry, those Livorno captures are spectacular :D And, VENICE, well :D :D .....takes me right back to when I SAW Rotterdam, there :D :D :D
Ah, yes, that's the first thing I thought about when I saw Rotterdam in Venice!!! :D
Imagine the quality of all our captures if all the ships invested in the type of cams Crystal is using...and the Geeks to keep them up and running.

Nordkapp in St Petersburg 10-10

Just an aside.. re the buildings in St Petersburgh above.
Isn't it funny how you remember little things about a place you visit.
One of the things that struck me in this city was the downpiping on the buildings.If you look at the photo you can see that the pipes carrying the water from the roof stop...just above...and spill out onto, the footpath.
All the buildings I saw were just like that.
Perhaps that why they wear big boots in Russia!

The ships next call is Capetown.
Wonder if we can catch Table Mountain?
Table Mountain for you David.

Lena
Table Mountain for you David.
Thank you Lena. What clear shots.
Nice to see it without its "tablecloth" on.
The first one is from Roben Island ,where Nelson Mandela
was imprisoned and in the second one
you can see the vehicles parked half way up the Mountain
at the base of the Cable Car Station.
David,
Ref to Fall pipes about a foot off the ground:
We were told that it is because of the snows ; ie the weight of the snow does not fracture the fall pipe- but that is in the winter, must get pretty messy in Spring when the snow melts from the roof above.
Lots of cams in Capetown, wonder if we can see PP on any of them?
Check this one out for a view from the top :D
