  • Farewell QE2.

    I said I'd give it a go, and so I have

    QE2 from the pierNo guessing where I was tonight. Myself and bloody thousands of others who seemed to have been there all day. By the time I drifted down to the 'Town Pier' the crowd was five or six deep and I couldn't find anywhere to rest the camera, (tripod being out of the question).
      So what with long exposures, the wrong lens on my DSLR, etc I was forced into using camera no2, thankfully I got  a few bits and pieces--shown below--which with a bit of tarting about will be enhanced and upgraded to 'Average'.

                                                                                Hey-Ho.

    QE2. The final voyage.

     

    And again:..............or perhaps not at the moment as the uploader seems a tad bollocksed. I'll show more, as Jools Holland would say, 'Later'.

  • QE2.

    All well being I shall be attempting to get a few photo's of the QE2 at the start of its farewell voyage from Southampton. There will be fireworks and all sorts og other gubbins. The only problem is that a huge crowd is expected to see the old boat off and I'm not very good with crowds.

    Got to have a little chuckle though as the ship ran aground on a sandbank at 5.30am this morning and had to be helped off with three tugs. You'd have thought that after all these years they'd know how to get into Southampton Water.
