This is from an afternoon walk along a short section of the local coastal path. There are seven of these in Weymouth/Portland Bay and another six in the Swanage/Bournemouth Bay area. These two are Queen Elizabeth (left) and Britannia. The small boat has just called-in on the QE, presumably with some provisions or other service. They will be around until at least March next year when P&O take their next decision on whether cruises can recommence. I'm told that if they were in port it would be costing in the order of £30,000 per day each in mooring fees.
Needless to say, there's a touch of PS and Lr at work here. Your critique would be appreciated.

Powerful and disturbing. I feel like I'm looking at a scene that's post-apocalyptic. Appropriate for 2020, and perhaps there is a bit of hope with your addition of the sun rays. But I think for now I'll retreat to my safe fantasy world of bright colors and happy thoughts.
Appreciate your sharing your vision and artistry, Dave.

With all these things laying just of our coast doing nothing, it feels a bit post-apocalyptic around here without my Ps attentions Linda! They just make it into a suitably dramatic image, not to be taken too seriously. I don’t want to make anyone feel bad!

As usual, Linda has expressed a thoughtful and meaningful reaction to a photo in words that I certainly can't improve on.
I'll just add that, as a ship lover, I'm drawn to all images that depict them. This is one of the "darkest" I've seen. Made me think of a background for an updated version of the Flying Dutchman...
Well done!

I like this image. It reminds me of paintings of the maritime battles in the days of the old sailing ships. More specifically, it kept reminding me of some paintings I saw in the National Maritime Museum (Het Scheepvaartmuseum) in Amsterdam. While not exactly the same, the painting "Battle of Terheide" is what I kept linking to your image, but rather than the ships of old, yours are the ships of new.
Well done!
