Hi Everyone!!

Some smashing pictures Capt. Matt :2thumbs:
-
Awesome picture's, thanks for sharing! ;D
-
nice pics :D
-
Thanks Guys, I thought you'd enjoy them :thumbs:

New York City is very big, as big as the future ship, Freedom Ship. I would have enjoyed NY if My family has a free month ;D Even better to see the new World Trade Center which is due in a couple of years.
-
They may say a couple of years, but we all know things get delayed, again, again, again, and yet again :doh: ::) ;)
-
Hello Capt. Matt,
Very nice pictures, many thanks.
You labeled the 7th picture as that of a French Navy vessel? It looks more like an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, her hull number DDG-64 being that of USS Carney. A nice ship anyway :thumbs:
Regards,
Luc
-
I wasnt too sure to be honest, I saw that her flag was red white and blue (Not sure in what order of if it was vertically or horizontally) :doh: My dad mentioned something about them being dutch, but I think you would know more than we would :thumbs:
-
Why she would have carried a Tango flag (Red white blue, not blue white red) is a mystery to me. Under Quebec (yellow), it would have meant something like stay at a distance of my anchoring. But the identity cannot be mistaken, thanks to the obvious funnels ... 4 gas turbines. Also, the silhouette is well known, alas, due to the many pictures of USS Cole. :(
Regards,
Luc
-
Hmm As I said you would know better than I would All I know is at her stern I saw a red white and blue flag I think lets see if I can find a picture ;)
Opps, Sorry luke that was on another navy vessel I saw :doh:
(http://i27.tinypic.com/5ulg2e.jpg)
Behind the hill you can see a ship passing and at the ships stern is the flag, I mixed up the ships :P
-
those pictures were pimp :thumbs: dude keep up the good work can you post vidios on the forum
-
Haha thanks, no you cant, but you can give youtube links :thumbs:
-
The frigate in the background is indeed Dutch, one of the Multipurpose frigates of the Karel Doorman's class, that can be seen in a ShipSim Pro advertising.
Thanks for the pictures, :thumbs:
Luc
Hr. Ms. Van Speijk (F828) at NY400
-
No Problem and sorry about my lack of flag knowledge ::) :lol: ;)
I thought that I'd take these pictures though because Were down there every weekend, but it never occured to me to take pictures ::) Anyways glad everyone enjoyed them :thumbs:
-
nice the Norwegian Dawn, awesome ship i must say ;D Cool pictures ;)
-
Sometime when I go out to see MC I shall be in NY.
-
Austin you come to see keane what about me ::)
-
Nice pics again Matt. It's very strange to look at something soooo bigggggg and industrial...I'm used to green fields and living by the sea/marina :lol: :D
-
Haha Yea Jack it really is insane standing in the city next to the huge buildings and looking straight up, those things go forever ::) I think it is a shame though that their building the Freedom Tower or WTC 1, I think that is is going to wreck the skyline because as you can see most of the builings are older, 1960s-70s and now their going to stick this shiny blue glass building with a huge spear right smack in the middle of it, doesnt fit in, wrecks the view, thats my opinion of it :-\
-
Austin you come to see keane what about me ::)
you're in the city ::) too complicated down there :P
-
Us city folk have stuff going on, sights to see people to meet! :doh:
-
yeah US CITY FOLK HAVE THINGS TO DO PEOPLE TO MEET (hot Spambot) AND STUFF TO DO (play video games like ss08) WHATS 56KwARNING MEAN????????????????????????????????
-
eh i dont like the city a whole lot 56k warning means a warning for people with very slow internet, it means alot of pictures usually, and take it easy with the smilies, one is enough ;)
-
alirght i was puting Q marks and i dont know why it did that but iil take it easy :thumbs:
-
Us city folk have stuff going on, sights to see people to meet! :doh:
I'll stick to my green fields and (Currently) Next door to the lake/Sea/Marina ;D
-
I've never been anywhere like NY. I bet for people not used to it the crowded streets are a bit claustrophobic..?
I mean you have the roads and all the tall buildings either side... and only a small patch of sky...
I like my sky to be big
-
We have sky, lots of it, when you were standing where I was taking these pics, but if your in the city you still have lots of sky, its just obstructed with buildings that seem to go up forever :doh:

*Cough* And Smog! :lol:
Like TFM, I've never been anywhere like that...Busiest place I've ever been to is probably Dublin, but even then, everybody still seems to know eachother! (I was born in Dublin, but Lived in Wexford - It's a long story)
Jack.
-
The busiest city ive ever been to has been, well Ive been lots of places, Halifax, Newark, NYC of course, Ottawa, Seracuse (not that big) then ive seen very barren places, like the island :doh:
Anyways The city is alright for a visit but im more of a suburbial person (Not the city not the country, right nicely in the middle) ;)
-
syracuse ;) and it depends where you are up there honestly, funniest thing was going to vermont, getting to hartford, conneticuit its just crazy buildings everywhere, biggest place i've ever been to would be NYC, but i'm never there long so really biggest place is the local towns around here, Middletown schools spent the afternoon on lockdown, some criminal escaped and broke into a house in the district, but i dont go to middletown school ::) http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090918/NEWS/909189975 (http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090918/NEWS/909189975) the guy surrendered exactly 20 minutes ago EDIT: made it onto ABC 7 news in NYC news chopper is up here
-
Haha, We go into NYC quite a bit as were right here on the bus ride to school I see the city everyday ;)
-

-
eh i dont like the city a whole lot 56k warning means a warning for people with very slow internet, it means alot of pictures usually, and take it easy with the smilies, one is enough ;)
