P&O’s Azura, completed at Monfalcone in 2010, arriving from Southampton for Northumbrian Quay this morning.

A change of viewpoint, Dennis, the last/lower photo has an inspired composition.

A change of viewpoint was essential George - trying to photograph ships of that size from the end of the Groyne, or the old Pilot Jetty, without a very wide-angle lens is futile. Standing in splendid isolation in the middle of beach also makes this social distancing malarky much easier!

Up to the swinging area and back to Northumbrian Quay. Interesting to note that she essentially self-berthed using her thrusters whilst the tugs stood-off.

Bet P&O still had to pay for the Tugs. Hull is not looking too bad for a year of zero maintenance.

Cracking Pictures, Dennis.

Azura in the sunshine (and quite a stiff breeze) this morning.
