The Last QE2 Visit to the Big Apple
What a day! This is a NY Times photo and you can read the article here.
No, it wasn’t “at dawn Thursday”, it was about 5 a.m. and I was there on the 80th street overpass of the shore promenade in Bay Ridge with my camera at the ready. What a sight to see the QE2 and then the QM2 coming under the bridge in the dark. I was the only camera nut in sight.
Then in the early afternoon it was on to the R-D-E trains to Pier 90 in Manhattan. After that on to the E train again down to the WTC stop and over to the river to shoot even more pix of the two ships as they rendezvoused near the Statue of Liberty before departing under the V-Bridge.
I just got in and it was a day of adventure, that’s for sure. How many pix do I have? Let’s just say a “lot” for the time being. Now it’s time to upload them onto my computer and then to Flickr. Yeah, I know…don’t hold your breath. I could spend a week editing and uploading pix to Flickr. They’ll get there sooner or later. Stay tuned.
