ReplyDeleteI missed the boxer the first time I looked at the photo. I had to go back to find it. It's huge!
ReplyDeleteLove the reflection of the moonlight on the water in the last photo. The tour of the USS Boxer looks very interesting. My uncle was in the navy and tells us a bit about the ships he served on when we can talk him into it. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a tour of a ship, John! I have never see a ship before (well, I have seen a couple at our Montreal's Old Port) , but never inside. I would love to have an opportunity to, though. I love your photos!
