Today, I had a chance to see the Cunard's Queen Elizabeth at our Port of Osaka.
Sorry for taking your precious time but please let me introduce a set of my photos.
She was huge. Anyway huge like a building.

Thanks!

Hello and Thanks for your kind comment, Pakman
Following pictures were taken a day before her arrival and there was nothing but sky.
You would understand how large she was.

I hesitated to clarify her name because I don't think her design and size is not necessarily correct. She is a motorized excursion boat.

Fantastic shots Shinpachi, that very first shot looks like the corner we walked around past the ferris Wheel with you to the Aquarium.

Thanks Jim and Torch for your kind posts too !
I don't know if we may call her QE 3 officially but was surprised to know QE 2 is still active.
It was a good honorable event for us Osaka people to receive her and we wish her safe voyage looking forward to seeing her again in the future.
