Sunday observations

Today it is Sunday, which means half day off for me as a cadet. I have spent my day doing two of my favorite things, reading and photographing. For one moment I also thought of drawing, but I realized that the light in the cabin wasn't enough for my precision sketches. Instead, I had the opportunity to borrow the second mate's telephoto lens (a Sigma 300mm) and portrait the inbounds of Rostock. One frequent guest in this port is the "Kronprins Frederik", which is, together with her sister ship "Kronprins Joachim", whitout a doubt the ugliest ships of the Baltic sea. I do not know how they thought when they were designing the hull's shape, but it was either no hydro- and aerodynamic aspects or the overall looks of the ship that they had in mind. It is literally a box with a hull, pushing the sea forward instead of smoothly cut the water. Take a look for yourselves:

Unfortunately, my internet connection is dying by this moment, so instead of giving you the full story of today's adventures, here's a picture of the bulkhead in my cabin, in case you care.
