Queen Mary II

20th of Feb: Went to take a good look at Queen Mary II after the big coverage on TV, newspaper and internet. True enough, it was majestic, 23 storeys high and is just BIG! unless you see it, you will never imagine how technology is able to build this giant machine.. it was a truly an experience

7.00pm sharp... the Mary's smaller sister, Queen Elizabeth II arriving at Sydney Harbour, horns sounded from both ships to signify this historical moment. 60 years since the 2 ships were docked at the same location.


As seen in the photos. tens of thousands of Sydneysiders were there.. was a bit squeezy when QE II arrives.. but luckily, the weather was not too bad and we able to take a few shots.

Choppers in the Air.. Loads of People on Land, and huge number of yachts sailing at Sea..
what a view.. =)


and to cap it off, a wonderful display of fireworks for a full 15 minutes! Denise and I just sat on the lawn, enjoying the breathtaking view and each other's company. simple and sweet..... im glad we were there to witness the event.. it was good!! very good indeed! =)
