These are the very last ship photos I took in 2011 that are worthy of publishing. I admit the rather glorious setting of the photos was completely accidental, I was on my way home from photographing the Princess Anastasia and by sheer change I happened to be on the ferry (Suomenlinna II in this case) that was inbound to Kauppatori just as the Silja Serenade was outbound. The autumn sunset and foliage conspired with the setting to make for rather excellent photographs (if I may say so myself).

| So close... the image is slightly blurry as I completely forgot that the autofocus in the camera is still broken. Taking that into account I think this turned out pretty damn well. |

Yes you may say so yourself, they are beautiful
