Chelsea_5

The Internet does not come up with much info particular to Chelsea_5, so this is more of a "we are trying to get back to regular blogging" post rather than anything spectacular.
The light is good, the weather is getting better and hopefully we are headed to more frequent images and information.
Below: the details for Chelsea_5

Un-Named

An hour before this series, another vessel was being towed south (Black Sea towards the Marmara) but we didn't have a lens ready to capture the view. Wondering why there were so many ships that needed to be towed on the same day.

Note the appearance of spring in the trees!

Fog and Absence

Boats on the Bosphorous has been silent for several reasons.

Bad weather: you can't film in the rain.
Darkness: if you get home and it's dark there isn't much to see.
Time: if you work until 5:30PM and it's dark when you get home ...

But ... Spring is just around the corner. Well .. it is supposed to snow this week, but ....

A shot for you today that summarizes all the above:
Fog. You can see our famous new mosque above it all.
No ships. Nothing to see except the horizon.
Back with more soon (we're still here) when the weather improves and when we have ships worthy of posting in detail.

Anangel Brilliance

She's so big she would not easily fit into a single foto frame!
(Air quality/foto quality has been terrible for a long time, but better something than nothing after all this time)

Allegri

Kind of a nasty day.
Dark in the morning, dark in the evening compared to even a month ago.
There were spots of light throughout the all-day-rain  but the lighting was kind of nice - if you could catch it.
We managed to catch Allegri in between.
If you zoom in, you can see the flag pretty clearly.
