Wow. You had to be careful framing this shot in order to get the whole of that vessel into it. Impressive shot, Rob.

Looks like you're off to the North Sea once repairs are done. A nicely composed scene and capture, Rob.

First of all, Rob, thank you for the narrative and the link. I prefer this to your usual "Paint.net manip". I always had it pictured in my mind that you casually strolled around the city and took shots. Since then I've checked out Rotterdam online and realize that it would take days to casually stroll from the beautiful neighborhoods to the seedier parts of this industrial harbor town. Some of your graffiti strewn back alley shots are many kilometers from here I would guess.

I'll assume that you used the same lens as your shot of the moon for this beauty unless you decided to take your tiny row boat out on the busiest harbor in Europe. I guess if you dare to enter some of those nasty alleys at night, your superhuman strength would likely keep you safe in your dingy if you strayed in front of one of the massive cargo vessels in the port. Much like Kal-El, the son of Jor-El of Krypton, your powers here on Earth keep you safe.

Beautiful shot. Love the glorious sky and the massive ship. I have one just like it in my bathtub.
