Arrival of the Russian Tall Ship 'Mir' at Flushing Roads for a port-call in Flushing, Zeeland, the Netherlands. I suppose that every captain with his/her crew will appreciate such a warm, but wet (lol) welcome.

Hope you'll enjoy this image. Thanks in advance for your comment.

Very nicely done Cornelius. She certainly is a beautiful vessel and the celebratory firehose spray makes for a wonderful image! Bravo!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

If it were champagne, then the undersigned would be watching it with mouth open ! LOL
The water jets seem to have washed the rainbow away from the image although I still see it ...

Het is en blijft een machtig mooi schouwspel, Cornelius !
Ik heb de zoom fnctie van mijn computer maar even op 150% gezet,
want deze foto is het waard om beter bekeken te worden !

Another WOW of a shot Cornelius - that framing is so complimentary to the whole scene - I love these tall ships shots.

Beautiful shot Cornelius. Normally when tugs welcome us we are lowering the line or keeping heaving the line ready :)

Spectacular image Cornelius that fully captures the excitement of the arrival.Mir has visited The Mersey at least once and I remember being more than a little impressed by it.
