It's a HUGE ship...and hoorrah to the veterans! They made history.
Well, I dont understand contrast but one pic is for people ready to party and the other a wonderful rememberance of our fallin soldiers. I think Id like to pay respect first then go on the cruise...contrast or no contrast:) Happy WW and thanks for stopping by.
OMG Nice! I go on a cruise Dec 8! WOO HOOO!
Nice Wednesday Post! Happy Wednesday! I cant believe the holiday season is here already! I am making homemade mac n cheese, 2 pies, and some salad to take to the inlaws! Have a great Holiday!
I guess I see people celebrating the holiday in one and the other...well, just plain sad.
The Norwegian Pearl really did decorate that port hah? *s*
I'll probably never grasp how big this memorial day is until you're THERE on that day.
Floating cities scare me in a big way. I'd rather pay my respects than be trapped on one. In my humble opinion.
I like the contrast idea.
Hi!
There certainly is more interest and activity in the ship than the cemetery. Lack of interest? Thousands can live on that huge ship. Thousands are buried. We may all be guilty of neglecting the veterans.
lots of fun aboard the ship...
sadness on the cemetery...
happy, sad.
These certainly are contrasting things...That is for sure! Life and Death, right there before our eyes! Very powerfyl Tor....
Thank You for the Thangsging Wishes....You know this is a very specific Holiday for Americans, connected to Historical Events. So, of course you would not celebrate this Holiday in Norway, or for that matter, in any other country....unless you were or are an American and feel strongly about commemorating the History involved here. The "thanks" we feel is very specific to certain events...! I will find a link for you Tor, and you can read what it is ALL about, my dear.
Here my dear Tor, is a link to the First Thanksgiving Celebration as compiled by The History Channel....It is u=interesting and kind of fun, too...What was actually eaten at that First Celebration!

ENJOY!
A huge contrast indeed. I'd rather be in the cruise ship eating those fabulous meals!
I think you just have more vacation time on your mind! Beautiful..
Oh oh, we finally had a beautiful evening that IIIIIIIII "I" got to enjoy... yeah... :)
That sure is a contrast, Tor, pleasure and pain.
Great shots and yep the contrast is amazing
The ship reminds me of our cruise through the mediteranian sea.
If you learn Tango before your departure I pity Anna ! Take already an appointment with the foot doctor for her !
Fantastic set of photos Tor!What a contrast!thanks for sharing!
enjoy your trip!
Huge contrast! My grandfather was a war veteran, so Remembrance/Veterans Day is a big deal to me. Too bad everyone doesn't remember what those soldiers did for us.
