Although the background skies were quite pleasing, a large and dirty cloud covered le soleil as myself and my photographic colleague attempted to capture this fine Cunarder...the smallest of the three queens, she is nevertheless a fine ship.
We did our best with the light, and think we both got fairly decent shots,as she berthed in Liverpool.
My colleague is too much of a lady to swear at the clouds...in any case,it wouldn't have altered things... it is a fact that sometimes....we get something other than clear blue skies at Liverpool.
Taken from Egremont Ferry , people stretched out onto the sand banks at Egremont to get a wonderful view of the 3 Queens of Cunard parade along the River Mersey passing the Iconic Liverpool Waterfront and the Three Graces .

In 1897 the people of the town of Walkerville built the Queen Victoria fountain in honour of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The money to build the fountain was a gift from whisky maker Hiram Walker and Sons. Today the fountain is part of the city of Windsor’s Willistead Park. Canadians still celebrate Queen Victoria with a national holiday held on the third Monday of May known as Victoria Day. Also Hiram Walker’s Canadian Club whisky is still distilled and bottled in Walkerville.

These are the top 500 feet (152 m) of Sedona, Arizona's Pointed Dome, elevation 5499 ft (1676 m), and its companion spire Queen Victoria, elev. 5402 ft (1647 m)—features near the bottom of a descending ridge that separates Bear Wallow Canyon (and Schnebly Hill Road) on its south from Casner Canyon on its north.

I took over a hundred shots at this event, and only processed 4. But a second look at this one made me put the RAW file through Lightroom. Taken last year at the 3 Queens Pageant
Whilst Storm Barbara was lashing the west country with 45knt winds, here in Teignmouth we were sheltered from the SSW fury. The armada of cruise liners anchored up and down the south coast descended on Labrador Bay to seek respite from the winds. One of the ships was Queen Victoria who dropped anchor next to her sister ship Queen Mary 2, a fine sight and a rare one I suspect.
Trying to incorporate the ships and a railway scene has proved to be a challenge, with Queen Vic in town I decided to give it a go as she was due to leave the following day.
So here it is 43301 leads the 1E63 1527 Plymouth to Leeds along the sea wall with Queen Mary Queen Vic, Ventura and many others.
The ships are normally backlit, by the time the sun illuminates the right side for land based photography the sea wall is in shade.
The iconic bronze statue majestically situated at the junction of Windsor High Street and Castle Hill was designed and constructed by Sir Edgar Boehm in celebration of queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887.
Nestled in the Perthshire Highlands, Blair Castle has been home to 19 generations of Stewarts and Murrays of Atholl. Its history takes us from Mary Stuart's visit to the Civil War, from the Jacobite cause to the Culloden disaster, following Bonnie Prince Charlie's stay at the castle. We discover how the fortuitous legacy of an island once a haven for smugglers allowed the castle to be transformed into a comfortable home, and how Queen Victoria's visit led to the creation of the only private regiment in Europe still in existence: the Atholl Highlanders.
Niché dans les Highlands du Perthshire, le château de Blair a abrité 19 générations de Stewart et de Murray d'Atholl. Son histoire nous transporte de la visite de Marie Stuart à la guerre civile, de la cause jacobite au désastre de Culloden, après le séjour de Bonnie Prince Charlie au château. Nous découvrons comment l'héritage fortuit d'une île jadis refuge de contrebandiers a permis la transformation du château en une demeure confortable, et comment la visite de la reine Victoria a conduit à la création du seul régiment privé d'Europe encore existant : les Atholl Highlanders.
Spot the cruise ship!
I wonder if any of my sharp-eyed contacts will be able to find it? A mid-week challenge is a good thing!
Sorry it is another cell phone shot and the colour and quality look a bit strange here.
I was at a conference in Sydney and there was a bit of break, so I ran over to the QV for a coffee and a quick photo or two. This shot of the beautiful stairs adjacent to the stained glass window is a 7-shot vertical panorama.

Each year he famous “Cherrywood Bar” in the dining room of the Historic Irma Hotel in Cody Wyoming gets decorated for Christmas. The Hotel was built by adventurer, army scout and entertainer, Buffalo Bill Cody and named for his youngest daughter, Irma. Buffalo Bill helped found the town now called Cody, Wyoming, in 1895 and was arguably one of the most famous men in the world at the time. The famous cherrywood backbar in the restaurant was presented to Colonel Cody by Queen Victoria of England after a command performance he gave the queen. Many claim it to be the most photographed location in the town of Cody,
In 1902, he built the Irma Hotel, an establishment which he called "just the sweetest hotel that ever was”. The cherrywood bar was installed during the original construction. The Hotel was built to appeal to visitors from around the world. It served as a staging point for sightseers headed for Yellowstone, big game hunters, summers tourists, and businessmen investigating the ranching, mining, and other business opportunities in northern Wyoming. Buffalo Bill maintained two suites and an office at the hotel for his personal use. Today the Irma is still a functioning hotel and restaurant. Some folks report certain rooms of the hotel to be haunted by former guests. The hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
