Ship photography

Since we left France I have been looking for something interesting to take pictures of. It used to be flowers, butterflies and other bugs. Things that our garden here in Holland does not offer as abundantly as overthere. But, we live just a few hundred meters from the Western Scheldt. This is the busy river connecting the Northsea to Antwerp, Belgium. I have taken to making pictures of containerships. With modern technology from www.marinetraffic.com I can see the ships coming on the computer, and when it is an interesting one I go to the river.
Some examples:

Bad weather

Last night we had a freak thunderstorm passing our town. Hailstones the size of marbles and 30-40mm of rain.  Many people had their cars turned into golfballs. The garden was a mess. Most leaves are shredded and flowers have been demolished.
