Leaving is overrated

I was passing the market square after spending all afternoon in a downtown conference center. It was the music that caught my attention first. Having 20min extra time before catching my bus, I decided to take a small detour to the see what was going on. Apparently the ship was leaving and people were gathering to say goodbye or just to listen to the military band while the staff gradually lined to the deck. They even had a military coffee van in service for the public.

Leaving is overrated, don't you think?

(Too bad I only had the 50mm with me this time - had to crop this quite a bit which I normally hardly ever do. For this shot I couldn't get any closer without falling in to the water...)
