I watched this documentary on TV. I m sure it is even more beautiful in real than it looks out here. I would want to go too :)

It really took my breath away, and for a picture to do that, I can't even imagine what it's like in real life.

From your TV set?

Bingo! Yeah it is the TV. Was watching it on Science Channel and then when this scene came, i said to N what a beautiful picture that would make. He jokingly said, "why dont you get your camera and take a picture?". He didn't know i would do it for real.... so here is the Royal clipper.

Taken on your new 42 inch LCD/plasma TV???

goofy_duck2004 May 5 2006, 16:34:27 UTC

You got the last bit right. It is the TV alright, but not a new 42 inch LCD/plasma. Regular 36".
