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.

and part two.

Photos cruising back from Stockholm - thru the Islands 

What Joy to see the Sun Setting and the stunning shots for your eyes.

Oh, you all are in for such a treat this week.

I hope you enjoy.

Part One.

 Cannot explain the feeling at 4.30am, only a hand full of passengers up and seeing the most beautiful sight of the Rising Sun - on a cruise ship.

 Julie never made it up for Norway, so she wanted to see just what I was raving about -

 A sin to shoot into the Sun?? - I'll leave you to decide or not.

 On the Sky Deck over looking the small swimming pool

 Reflections to die for--

My Header - Really unbelevible the Gold sea - Talk about feeling you are in Heaven - AMAZING.

Part two.

The return journey - The Sunset.

 Amazing how many Yachts sail these Islands at sunset.

 Julie waving to folk on one of the Islands, as the sun shone on her.

 And here are those folk.

 Sunsetting - Reflections.

 And what better way  to  end the evening than sitting on the balcony watching as the setting sun warms our Brandy.    Cheers.

Good-Night.
