Egidio asks us to show things we see as Over the Top. He defines Over the Top as “something too extreme, too dramatic, or more than what is expected and needed.” I’m featuring a few Over the Top ships I’ve seen during my travels.

Mega Yacht in Barbados

Enormous container ship traveling through the Panama Canal.

Cruise Ship docked side by side in St. Kitts.

Would you go down this over the top water slide on top of a cruise ship?

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #324 – In the Details

Patti’s challenge: “Choose a subject (a statue, a person, a place, street art, etc.) and take a series of photos about your subject. Get closer and closer to the subject, focusing on a particular detail(s). Vary your shots by changing your perspective or angle of shooting or even your lens. Post three photos of your subject. Feel free to shoot another series on a second subject.”

I went for a walk on Tybee Island’s north beach looking for inspiration for this challenge. It’s my favorite place to walk and there is always something interesting to see there.

Container ships in the shipping channel are a common sight from the beach. The container ship in the header photo was sailing out to Atlantic Ocean after leaving the port of Savannah.
