QE2, and thunderstorms, now arriving in New York
We're operating on Plan B now, Plan A having been to go out and photograph the Queen Elizabeth 2 as she arrived this morning at 7 from across the Atlantic. It was storming this morning, so instead of going out to the end of the 14th Street Pier, I turned to the trusty Towercam, knowing that I was most likely going to see something like this. But I kept trying, and suddenly there she was:
The rain held off long enough for me to follow her all the way in, 16 photos in all (that's Number Two above):
One
Two (same as above)
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
Nine
Ten
Eleven
Twelve
Thirteen
Fourteen
Fifteen
Sixteen
Plan A would have entailed going out to wave goodbye to the QE2 when she left today at 5 p.m., as recommended recently in a New York Times feature, but it's storming even worse now. We'll have a few more chances before she crosses the Atlantic for the last time later this year. Maybe the weather will be better next time. In any case, Bon Voyage, QE2!
