Look how it dwarfs the little boat passing thru the Kanmon Straits in the other direction. Must be intimidating... Hey! Looks like it could use a paint job, too!

Focused the Olympus E520 DSLR on the rope in an attempt to get an artsy-fartsy shot. Not an easy task... It would be easier with the E620 as it has an adjustable display, while the E520's is fixed. Ho-hum. Gave it a try.

FATA MORGANA - Ship sailing in the sky near Kitakyushu Japan

Alright, so check this out!  FATA MORGANA is this wild optical illusion that happens when you're standing on land, looking out over the ocean, and you see a ship that looks like it's floating above the horizon. It's not magic, though—it’s science at work. Fata Morgana - Ship sailing in the sky as viewed from Kitakyushu  Here’s the lowdown.
