    Default come Cruising with me

    Last week my husband and I went our first ever cruise. It was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary (which was in august but that seemed a silly time to cruise). This was a real vacation we started in Miami, headed to Cozumel and Key West and then back to Miami (mon-friday). I did take my camera but I left in the room a fair amount and just tried to enjoy the time we had together. Work has been stressful and the winter has been hard so it was so nice to step off of the plane in Miami and feel the warmth and smell plants growing. You forget how barren of smells winter is.

    Downtown Miami was much cleaner then I anticipated.

    Ed and I enjoyed a stroll around the waterfront and eating outside.
    this is Freedom Tower at sunset:

    the next day we headed to the terminal:

    Happy Anniversary (belated). I love the door - great colours in that photo! I will have to live vicariously through your photos as I'm still stuck up here in a cold Canadian winter!!!!!

    It's a good trip, Randitola... I've been living vicariously through her images as well

    Congrat's firstly on your Anniversary Bambi.
    Lovely images. That pano is beautiful, and the door shot is so nicely detailed. Actually, so much clarity on both.
    The terminal shot is just perfectly composed, and oh so interesting.
    Very well done on all, can't pick a fav. actually as like them all so much. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to more.

    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    belated congrats on your anniversary as well, Bambi. Nice to see some folks make it for longer than a couple of years together. Wife and I will be married 37 years this fall. And great shots to boot. Love the "sail away" shot. Just great. Having said this: I see the big cruise ships here in Kona and in Hilo, and I am thinking|: you could not get me on one of those if you dragged me on it. Then again, it is most likely very relaxing, cause you are catered to all hours of the day. And it gives you opportunity to view the world from a different angle. Your panos are very nicely done as well, btw.

    thank you.
    We were not sure if we were 'cruise people'. I did enjoy a lot about it- the not having to worry about transportation from one spot to another, or where we were going to eat. I would go again but part of me really wants to go on a European river cruise.

    Here's some of the first night's sunset:

    after a day at sea we landed at Cozumel- a small island off the coast of Mexico. I would return there in a heartbeat. Here's the boat at dock:

    Looks like a lovely holiday. Thanks for taking us along. Happy Anniversary too

    Loving them all but just a couple of specific comments

    #2 - that sky is quite amazing
    #4 - well seen and nicely composed. I like your imagination here
    Really liking the scenes of Miami- these type of shots can often be boring to me, but not yours- you have nailed them
    Dig the perspective of the ship in port.

    Keep em coming
