Ahoy me hearties!

I love travelling by sea and the Queen Mary 2 is definitely a luxuriant vessel upon which to voyage the Atlantic ocean, from Southampton to New York in 132 hours. Arriving at 5am was however most unfortunate for my hard working digital camera, so no decent pictures of the Statue of Liberty, but I have chosen a few of my favourites to post on flickr. I could fill pages with details about this the largest of passenger ships, but if you are interested you will check it out for yourself. What impressed me were the 50 nationalities represented among the crew. Instead, I shall inflict the following prose that I felt compelled to write after listening to a lecture given by the author Angela Huth on the subject of synethsesia:

Watching the swelling of the gun grey waves brings a feeling of hypnotic serenity, an easy peace with life. Every wavelet big or small is unique, yet each with a life so short that one hardly notices the small triumphant splash of white foam at the apex of it's life, before falling back to death among it's brethren. Millions upon millions, so many as to be countless, merging together in chaotic harmony to create the menacing expanse that is; the Atlantic Ocean.
