Golden hour at the Port of Malaga

It’s quite unusual for me to make photographs during golden hour. Most of the time I either need to get ready for work in the morning, or I’m too tired to bother with going out in the evening. So it’s only when I’m on a holiday or something that I tend to take advantage of the soft, warm light it presents.

My wife and I had been out for something to eat in one of the harbour-side restaurants, and the sun was setting when we finished our meal, so I managed to get a few pictures. I also took a digital shot of this same scene which, if I’m honest, I prefer to the film version (traitor!). You can see this at the bottom of the post.

Cruising

On our first day in Malaga, while walking around the port, we saw this cruise ship berthed. The Seabourn Sojourn is chartered and operated by Seabourn Cruise Line and is the flagship of their fleet. She took her maiden voyage in 2010, leaving Greenwich, London and cruised the northern European countries before crossing the Atlantic to cruise the Caribbean and Panama.

Since then, she has carried round-the-world cruises, and also operated between the US and Cuba. In 2020, during a world cruise, she made it as far as Hawaii where she was held in quarantine due to the Covid pandemic, with passengers unable to depart.

The ship has 229 suites and, from a quick glance at the Seabourn website, cruises might be a touch out of my price range except maybe for a very special occasion…
