We're in a fjord on a bright, sunny, warm day. Our view is from aboard a tender boat, a small boat used to ferry passengers from cruise ships to land and back again, and we're sitting up on top so we've got uninterrupted views across the flat surface of the water. We're looking back to the cruise ship that we've recently departed from. It's all in white and facing slightly towards us with its prow angled over our right shoulder. A split around the ridge of the prow shows off the area in which there is a promenade deck wrapping around the ship and down the left side as we look we can see lifeboats mounted at the same height. The bridge with its wide wings at the upper front of the ship resembles a visor and the overall look is a little like a great, white, metal dolphin or whale on the water. To the left, just beside the ship are two more tender boats, white and orange, small in scale against the ship. To the right, further back, there is another cruise ship; a smaller white one pointing to the left, with a pale orange funnel. The background under the deep blue sky and puffy white clouds comprises of steep rising hills, mostly green with grass and trees, with some more mountainous rises to the rear and some houses visible near the fjord shoreline to the left and right.
A combination #SchiffsSamstag and #FotoVorschlag today with its theme of "Schifffahrt" or shipping or ship-related.
