The Russian tanker "Mikhail Ulyanov" in the floating drydock at the port of Hamburg. Apparently they don't care whether you can read Cyrillic script or not. This is my entry for the B/W challenge.
I've been in a couple of drydocks, many years ago when in the Navy. It's an interesting process and a rather lengthy port call, as I remember. Good one for the challenge, Raj.
Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Currently in the port of Murmansk, probably sailing in the Barents sea now. Her last postion can be seen by checking-out this link (if her Automatic Identification System is not switched off. This has been done several times in the past to avoid 'Greenpeace' activities).

Always interesting marine pictures from you and SEA Raj and this is no exception - I checked out SEA's link as well. I had no idea all this info was out there - I've learned a lot form both of you.
I can't make heads nor tails of the words...It might say Hello in Russian for all I know. LOL. Great looking shot, Raj. It's a dandy for the black and white challenge.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Good shot. I always amazes me how most Russian's can make things last way beyond their lifespan. I know it's necessity living behind the iron curtain and not having access to equipment, etc.
