I was going through my old photographs when I came across this one I took during my very first cruise back in 2013. We just sailed out of Miami and the sun had just set creating a majestic glow in the horizon. Up in the sky was this expansive cloud creating a border above the horizon while sandwiching the fiery sky in the middle. As I focused my gaze out to sea, I got captivated by the poetic silhouette of a cruise ship created by the glowing sky. Thankfully I brought my DSLR with me so I was able to photograph the magnificent view before me. I can also still remember the slow rocking of the ship and the smell of the salty ocean breeze as we sailed steadily towards our destination. It was a totally new experience for me and I’m glad I did it because after that trip I became a cruise fanatic having been on 9 cruises since and looking forward to my 10th in the next few days. I have cruised the Caribbean a number of times, the Mediterranean, Alaska and across the Atlantic Ocean and I’m looking forward to more cruises in the future. My goal is to keep cruising until I can eventually claim to have cruised around the world.
Amazing sunset! The glow in the sky is spectacular.

Thank you! One of those days when the entire sky just turns gold during sunset. This does not happen on very clear days.

As I look at the snowflakes falling outside this morning, I am wishing I was there.

I would love to experience lots of snow someday as the closest I experienced was a light flurry in Dallas a few years ago. But I do understand your wish to escape from the freezing cold. Maybe book a cruise next time…been seeing lots of good deals lately.

I have made two cruises to the Far Far East and down to Perth (Freemantle). Both were 6 months cruises, on a very large ship. My feet now wish to stay on dry land. 😉

That’s something I would love to try someday….I have friends who cruised around Australia and New Zealand and they all raved about it.
