Thank you Fred.........you're very kind.

Was bei mir die verschneiten Felder, sind bei Dir die stillen Strände und Buchten..ich mag diese hellen zarten Blautöne und die vereinzelten "Tupfer"...den Horizont und die Stille...herrlich!

Thank you so much Tanja.............for your well thought out and kind comments. I'm really pleased you like this one.

Not the Suez Channel… glad to be retired !

I think the Suez Canal must be pretty quiet at the moment :-(

Guess it is, did you ever passed it?

No never............but I've been through the Corinth Canal a couple of times, which is an "interesting" experience. It's very narrow..!!

Never did but saw photos, seems a challenging thing to pass. In my times I passed Suez on 3 occasions, all clear and quite pleasant experience. But our tanker routes passed regularly the Guinea gulf, and by then it was already problematic. We had weapons on board. On my command we were approached twice, our guys went on deck showing we were armed and pirates moved away to easier targets I guess. Not feeling comfortable afterwards… so very glad to be retired as I know it got a lot worse in the following years till nowadays…

The Royal Navy used to keep a ship almost permanently in the Gulf area at one time, but defence cuts ruled that out many years ago. We also used to proved some our flagged ships with armed personnel.........but I think that has also been stopped. So sad that these sort of things are even needed..!!

I think piracy is getting worse and paying ransomes for captured ships, the crew and cargo is pretty much factored into the insurance system nowadays!

Schön minimalistisch!
