Welcome to Mauritius.

Welcome to Mauritius.
Enjoy the light and grandeur of this wonderful spot taken on the stern of our Cruise ship the P&O Aurora.
‘2014 - on our ships arrival into the harbour at its capital Port Louis, on the west coast of this Indian Ocean gem, we looked forward to a day’s sightseeing and a coastal catamaran adventure. A great day with many photos taken, all in the past now. - We had sailed a long way to get here from Sri Lanka, almost 4000km on the Indian Ocean in one jump, now we prepare to depart for the next step, a shorter hop of just 1700km to the Island of Reunion and then 4500km more to the South Africa city of Port Elizabeth.' Three PiPs of the wider island.
Nice full screen.

HFF and enjoy your weekend.

Good to see such an unusual city-scape..............I love the way you've framed it through the stern of the cruise ship...........very clever. The light is glorious and the mountains make a magnificent backdrop.

Three cracking PiPs too............the first and second show off the island beautifully and the third with the waterfall is just fantastic.

HFF Herb. I hope you have a peaceful and enjoyable weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Always nice that you enjoy my alternative photos Keith. I always did like this but it never did much on Panoramio. Perhaps the fence gave it that extra kick here. Good that you liked the other snaps of the island too.

Amazing light and perfect framing, Herb. Really nice series in the pips too. I think Mauritius needs to be in my bucket list! (if we will ever get back to normal travelling ...)

HFF!

Hi again Annalia, you will now start to realise that I do like a good frame. Another great holiday for us here in the Indian Ocean and all too little time in these islands. I can recommend Mauritius for sure.

Hi Herb

A very nice picture, which I really like

Fantastic colours

Wonderful composition. Just think how many people would have tried to avoid including the rail, and just taken the city scape.. Very well thought out!

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Hi Peter - you are so right in avoiding the rail. I did in fact have a couple without the rail too :) I did like this curved frame though. Cheers.
