As lunchtime rain fell on Fort-de-France, Martinique, I framed my latest 'When Worlds Collide' shot. It was a bit hurried and is not my favourite but it continues the theme, depicting modern ships in often contrasting surroundings. Celebrity Summit was in port on an Atlantis Caribbean cruise between call at St. Lucia and Saint Barthélemy. 200_P1010790

I would not normally include a shot as busy as this in my collection of cruise ships but this was about as good a picture as I was going to get from any location I could easily access. Croisières de France cruise ship Horizon was at Fort-de-France, Martinique, its port of call between Barbados and St. Kitts on a cruise originating in La Romana, Dominican Republic. This ship will probably not be familiar to my UK based followers but will undertake Scandinavian and Mediterranean itineraries later in 2014. 200_P1010771

Following the delight of our sightings in Puerto Rico (which were half expected) I was thrilled to come unexpectedly across more iguanas in Martinique. 200_P1010749C

My document of cruise ships is either repetitive or thorough depending on your point of view. In addition to trying to record every ship in every port it visits, I like to capture several different views. Celebrity Summit was at Fort-de-France, Martinique on the penultimate port call of an Atlantis Caribbean cruise. She had arrived from St. Lucia and departed in the evening for St. Barthélemy. 200_P1010739

In my continuing attempts to vary content and composition in my cruise ship photographs, I have included a perspective view of a ferry pier in this shot of Celebrity Summit at Fort-de-France, Martinique. This beautiful island was the penultimate port of call on an Atlantis Caribbean cruise. We had arrived from St. Lucia and departed in the evening for St. Barthélemy. 200_P1010733
