Officers and gentlemen
posted by Paul
Simonstown's Naval Festival (held this past weekend) is a celebration of the South African navy. It's a day when the men and women of the navy mingle with civilians and show off their toys and talent. The weekend is filled with sea rescue demonstrations, tours aboard naval ships and submarines, trips out to sea on tugs, and much more. Kerry-Anne gleefully exclaimed that I should buy a naval uniform – apparently the boys in white look really good… true officers and gentlemen.

Thanks Victoria and Photo-Effe. Navy ships have such beautiful lines - the photo was begging to be taken.

kewl angle on this photo! Love the color of the water
Great shots as usual. One day, when I'll get back to Cape Town, I'll visit Robben Island. Actually, I bought the Long Walk to Freedom at Jo'burg airport on the way back from a trip to Cape Town, and it was a quite interesting reading!
Take care

Very nice celebration!I am an old navy and I love it!
Excellent capture.
gorgeous composition-particularly love the subtle reflection both in the water and on the ship.
Thanks for the positive comments everyone - chris&deb, I must confess that I only noticed the reflection afterwards - I agree, it does add a lot to the photo, thanks for noticing :).
