Bored yet...

off all these crusie ship blips?

Well I'm not. I've just gotta be a bit more creative with them.

Two ships in today. The Ocean Countess blipped here and the Aurora which I decided to blip.

The Aurora was moored off Fermain bay and for those who know Guernsey it's a beautiful spot.

I wanted to frame the ship in the trees and with a touch of luck a gull flew into the shot.

More ships in tomorrow I think so stay tuned!

Definately worth a look in large view.
