AIDAcara - Sailing at night

Cruise ship AIDAcara at night in Bergen Norway


AIDAcara is a regular visitor into Bergen. When she called earlier this year it was an unusual opportunity to see her sailing while the nights were still long. Unfortunately my phone camera wasn't really up to the task of night photography, but I thought I'd do a quick post showing the best of a bad bunch.
