Listen to Mungo Jerry - Summer time. While you check-out my Header and Posts.
I want to share with you all, one of our most Magical Golden Moments of our lives
for this weeks Header - The Best of Summer by Kathy.
We were informed that before we reach Stockholm we will be cruising through 1000s
of little Islands, which would take us about 4 hours approx before coming along-side the harbour of Stockholm. We would arrive at the small Islands at around 4am.
Have you ever been up at 4am to take photographs??
I have twice, the 1st one being up at 4am cruising through the Norwegian Fjords
(but thats another story)
Julie and I was on deck at 4.30am, Just before the sun shone above the clouds
When the Sun broke through - Ive never experienced such a Wonderful Golden Ocean
as this - Just like a Liquid Gold Ocean (My Header) What an amazing sight,
you can see how we weaved around these Islands by the Golden ripples where we travelled
disturbing the mirror like ocean.
My Posts are in two parts.
part one.
Photos of cruising to Stockholm thru the Islands with the Sunrise.
What such beauty you are about to see with the Sunrise.

I hope you enjoy.

I wished I would have seen this too ! It looks almost unreal ! A golden sea !
Yes I have been up at 4am to watch a sunrise in Egypt. Sometimes in even here at 5 there are beautiful sunrises.
I just came back from Eastbourne.
What a lovely journey! Thanks so much for taking the time to share it!!!
Happy sailing!
Ann
This is yet another wonderful reason to rise early and seek the Lord! Gorgeous!
Cruising is great. We just love it. We were there in June with the Celebrity Constellation.
Greetings,
Filip
Gorgeous! and that's just Julie!
Looks pretty idyllic!
Mac: That was a beauty of a summer cruise. Thanks for sharing your photographic talents.
Well done, my man. Your photography will beat out my tomatoes, but not taste as good. Nothing like a cruise for wonderful photos--unless it is a wander through a medieval cathedral with good friends.
Thank you Julia :-) It was worth getting up for these sights, and we saw a white tailed eagle too! Wonderful!
Breathtaking photos!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!!! The times I have been up at such an early hour is when we have had a time change and it has always been glorious. Please tell Julie how much I love her spotted hat.
That was worth getting up early to see. I bet you needed a nap later though. Hope you didn't fall asleep in your cornflakes!
It only took me half an hour to scroll down to this bit of your page, LOL. So jealous of you two!
Would have loved to have seen all those places and I'm getting itchy feet now! :-)) The photos are beautiful and you've visited some stunning places.
What a birthday treat! And a belated Happy Birthday to Julie! :-)
I feel so blessed. Thank you so much for allowing me to travel the ocean sunrise and sunset with you. The golden waters were astounding. I am up early every morning but do not have such watered sunrises to love. And the warm wine at sunset...what a glorious cruise.

I'm raising my glass to these photos. And sin away with that camera taking in the sun. Thanks for these.
A highly recommended tour :-)
A beautiful set of pictures... I also enjoyed your words which painted their own picture of a lovely holiday.
Since I couldn't see this for myself, I count myself blessed to be able to see it through your lens.
Tell Julie that I LOVE her cap in the photo of her waving the the people of the island.
Hugs,
Jackie
Wow - what stunning shots. Pure magic! The Scandinavian white night are beautiful.
I'd say you were crazy to get up at 4, but the pictures were totally worth it! You were after all recompensed in "gold."
Marvelous sequence of photos!! The golden sunrise is especially pleasing to the eye. (And I am a believer in shooting into the bright light.)
Loved your header and all the others... beautiful, beautiful !!
What a wonderful relaxing cruise! NO it is not a sin to shoot into the sun, one of my favorite shots I took was just pointing my camera into the sun over the roof of a neighbors house during the sun solace...it was amazing, it looked like an explosion! Umm the brandy shot at the end of the day looks so romatic! and Julie waving to the people on the shore...what a wonderful little story!
