There's a Storm Brewing!
Taken from the MV Viking Sky en route to Stavanger. We never reached this port: 5 hours after I took this photo, the ship sailed into the teeth of a violent storm in the notorious Hustadvika. All engines stopped when the ship plunged into a deep trough: it then started drifting towards submerged rocks.....
