The Ship’s Arrival

I know you’ve probably all seen this picture, but still, I wanted to post it. I can’t get over it.

And here’s the article about this gargantuan ship visiting our fair city.

I think it’s doing a turn around the Statue of Liberty on Sunday (word on the street says so, that is). My friend Allison and I are going to be down in Battery Park, so I will see if I can get some shots.

If you turn the ship on its end, it would be taller than the Chrysler Building. I am looking out my office window right now at the Chrysler Building. Difficult to contemplate!

    Shouldn’t you be working instead of gazing out the window? Just kidding. I should probably be working instead of surfing the net.

    I’m thinking of heading into the city this weekend just to take a look. The bloody thing is huge.

    Dear Sheila:

    Sort of like “Find the elephant in this picture” from when I was a wee lad….

    Best,
