Silja Serenade passing Kustaanmiekka on 18 May 2009. My main intention for that day was actually to photograph Phoenix Reisen's Alexander von Humboldt, but due to problems with the ship's then-owner Club Cruise she had in fact never arrived in Helsinki. As my secondary objective for the day was to check out the potential of a hill in Kustaanmiekka as photospot, I decided to go anyway. The photographs below (and similar ones of Viking Line's Gabriella that I will probably upload later on) were the result.
