There's a world out there.

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

This is such an artistic shot, Betty. One lone chair between the decking and overhang, the railing, the wake and the world beyond. I am looking forward to more of your wonderful vacation photographs!

I love this composition. That lone deck chair just invites me to come sit and watch the wake of the ship as it cuts through the water. I would want a second one, though, for my VF bride.

J'adore cette composition, avec ce jeu de courbes et d'ombres portées... une invitation au voyage, à l'évasion... ah, que ça me manque... je me verrais bien, assis, là, humant l'air marin et profitant de ce paysage infini...

Mary, what a strong image! The roof is a great graphic addition to the scene and the wake of the boat is a strong leading line. Fantastic, girl!

Oh I do really love this Mary!! It's so clean with the whites and blues but also just sighs with relaxation.

Thanks for the news about Rahoul. I wonder about him often and hope he comes back. I miss his spirit.

Calm and peaceful. The angle and lines of the overhang along with the lines of the deck draw you out to the horizon. Beautiful colors.
I see everyone is trying to get that chair.

Thanks MaryB, it's like you put that chair there for me, leaving behind all my troubles! The company could use this as an excellent advertising picture! Irrestistible, you couldn't describe the cruise experience better in words!
