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.

She's a beautiful ship Raj - nice photo. It always amazes me how many cranes are on the deck of these ships. I'd love a tour.

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 like how you have filled the screen with this vessel, emphasizing her size. Very impressive Raj and a very welcome addition to the BWC, thank you.

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.
