Excellent. You won't be able to get unclutterd shots like that next weekend.

Amazing, such a wonderfull ship! And in such mint state! Must be great to walk on board.

Beautiful shots!!

Been there a few years back, she's a looker alright.

God, that is a beautiful ship.

Wonderful shots of a Great Ship

Thanks for posting them.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Ah, very nice. I'm gonna have to go to Portsmouth oneday to have a look at her. Maybe I'll go in the summer.
