EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking photo print, we witness the magnificent Queen Mary 2, the world's longest, tallest, and widest ocean liner, gracefully sailing through Sydney Harbour. As she embarks on her maiden circumnavigation of the globe on February 20th, 2007, a flotilla of small craft accompanies her in a grand escort. The iconic Opera House stands proudly in the background as if paying homage to this majestic vessel. With its colossal weight of 151,400 tonnes and unrivaled dimensions, the Queen Mary 2 exudes an aura of sheer power and elegance against the backdrop of a stunning sunset. The warm rays of sunlight dance upon its sleek surface while casting enchanting reflections upon the tranquil waters below. This historic moment is further elevated by another legendary ship joining in celebration. The Queen Elizabeth 2 commemorates her remarkable Silver Jubilee world voyage that evening. These two maritime marvels stand side by side as symbols of timeless beauty and nautical excellence. Captured by Anoek De Groot from Agence France-Presse (AFP), this photograph encapsulates both serenity and adventure intertwined within one frame. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with exploration across vast oceans. As we gaze at this image filled with river transport history and sea-faring dreams illuminated by a setting sun, it reminds us that sometimes life's most extraordinary journeys begin when we set sail towards new horizons.
